FreePaystheSoul - 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 thoughts of suicide was in me
Till life put that gran gran 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, ah 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

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
