Coping Mechanism Lyrics by Masetti

Alleviation

2019

[Intro]
Left with this weight on my shoulder
I know I'm only getting older
Sift through my pain for some closure
So I write these songs for you
[Masetti]
Don't be afraid of me
(Don't be afraid of me)
Yeah, I've hurt you too many times
Something was changing me
I had a big a hole inside my heart
And it was strangling (It was strangling)
I've gotta get hold of all of this now
(All of this now)
So I can cope (cope cope)
I get so stressed out sometimes
That I sit and I stare at the wall
Nervous (Nervous)
Wake up in puddles of sweat
And I don't who else I can call
I just, Go through it
The only way I know how
(The only way I know how)
[Chorus]
I need to find a waaa-aa-ay
That I can cope
Without being stressed out
My heart's on the line
Things I can change
Things I don't want to
Things I don't need to, Hey
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
[Mass of Man]
I need to find a way to cope
It's never really easy when you think that you're a joke
It's never really easy when you know you're gonna choke
All these people rising up and you try to stay a float
I'm at the bottom of the ocean
Bottled up emotion
Try to let it out but it's causing a commotion
Coping mechanism are something that ain't simple
I try to be a saint but my ways, they stay sinful
I need to find a way (find a way)
To live another day (another day)
People around me change
And I'm the one to blame (one to blame)
And I can tell, if I
Only had a moment in time
To rewind
[Chorus]
I need to find a waaa-aa-ay
That I can cope
Without being stressed out
My heart's on the line
Things I can change
Things I don't want to
Things I don't need to
Hey
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
[Mack Harrison]
Yeah
Who else I'm supposed to call
I done burned every bridge anyways
(Burning down)
I don't know why you still pick up my call when the telephone rings
If you hate seeing my name
I know you took me out your contacts
Took a lot from me to take you out of context
You showed me life when I was cold and withdrawn
Now I'm the one left stand here holding the gun
It was mny fault I got these faulty coping mechanisms
You shouldered all my pain, I never gave you recognition
For the things you helped me through and this love I took for granted
I was living in the past, never saw you in the present
The future me's already depressed
I hold it in and hold it hostage in the back of my head
I'm thinking 'bout the future you without me holding you back
And I beat the shit out of this thing in my chest
And I know
[Chorus]
I need to find a waaa-aa-ay
That I can cope
Without being stressed out
By highs and the lows
Things I can change
Things I don't want to
Things I don't need to
Hey
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
[Outro]
Left with this weight on my shoulders
(It's what I tell myself)
I know I'm only getting older
(It's what I tell myself)
Sift through my pain for some closure
So I write these songs for you
