[Verse 1]
Hold it in, the river in your mouth is pouring out
Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds
Yeah I know, I've been trying so hard
To keep in time with all of the hours in your day

[Verse 2]
Hold it in, they wouldn't let you out among the crowd
Not like that these streets will tear you down
How it is, under my skin
Now you are; pictures of all you'll ever be

[Chorus]
Oh, I am not myself today
I am not feeling okay

[Verse 3]
Hold it in, the river in your mouth is pouring out
Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds
Yeah I know, I've been trying so hard
To keep in time, with all of the sounds that you make

[Verse 4]
Hold it in they come at you from both sides of your mind
Thick and thin; these walls you'll always stand behind
I'm sick and tired, oh I begged for the world to change
But it don't, it ain't all you and that's the thing
[Chorus]
I am not myself today
I am not feeling okay

[Bridge]
And you showed me hope amidst the hellequins in spring
And you told me life was learning how to be your friend

[Instrumental Outro]
