How to Cope Lyrics

I, I don't know why, I don't know why I do this to myself

Yeah, back in the day when we used to be kids, mom said go out and play

It was innocent, careless, and endless, I remember being easily content with

Cardboard boxes turned into mansions, using my imagination and a few branches

There was never worries about expenses, finances were never at the top of the dome

Now I can't breathe, require trees and land to roam

I don't know where you are, but I know you're where you'd like to be

Somewhere clearing your head, trying to get yourself free

You know how I know, it's cause I'm going through it too

You can grab my hand, we can go on through

I didn't think thoughts of suicide was in me, 'til life put that grand-grand pressure on me

And I had to do something, so I stepped out to the wilderness

And lost myself just to find myself, I don't claim to know but I wanna grow

Thinking back, what I learned in school, they teach you chemistry, biology, and little technology

But never anything on how to cope with anxiety, or how to escape from society

Lately, I feel my mind is trapped on Escobar's Island

With the depression burying me from all sides of me

I'm just tryna breathe and be the best me

Use mother nature to patch myself together in privacy

So before anything else, we need to learn how to cope and mend ourselves

How to grow, how to deal with these pressures, I wish they taught this shit in school

'Cause, I feel to the wall

And I know at the end of the day, we gone look back and laugh at it, and brush it off

'Cause when you're going through it, it's like, the biggest thing ever

But you're not alone, and, you know, just ask yourself

When you're 80 years old is this gonna matter? You know

At the end of the day, man, everybody's just looking for somebody to tell them

It's going to be okay

And I hope this song is that thing, you know what I'm saying, yeah

I, I don't know why

I don't know why I do this to myself

Ooh, I wish they taught this shit in school

'Cause, I feel to the wall, uh
