Help me

"Help me" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Comatose. The song is ostensibly about the need for the album's comatose protagonist for medical and psychological help, but is actually probably LorD and Master's most deeply personal song, about dealing with the loneliness of living in a strange city, not knowing enough people and being away from friends and family.

Lyrics

Help yourself if you wanna
I'm not gonna stay any longer
You got me retreating into my mind

This isn't always easy
And we can't always be so breezy
But we can't make excuses all the time

So I stay at home in bed and I dream
That I'm in the middle of a crowd and I scream

Help me if you can
I'm one broken, fucked-up man
Help me and my ailing health
Above all
Help me help myself

Finding the streets too crazy
Becoming so fat and lazy
Hurting the ones I love all the time

I wish I could say it was fleeting
But more and more I'm retreating
Coming to terms that I'm past my prime

So I stay at home in bed and I dream
That I'm in the middle of a crowd and I scream

Help me if you can
I'm one broken, fucked-up man
Help me and my ailing health
Above all
Help me help myself

So I stay at home in bed and I dream
That I'm in the middle of a crowd and I scream

Help me if you can
I'm one broken, fucked-up man
Help me and my ailing health
Above all
Help me help myself
