When I'm down
Really down
Nothing matters
Nothing does
I close my eyes
To go to sleep
But I can't sleep
I can't sleep
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
Junior high
I lost my mind
I don't know why
It's a terrible thing
Since that day
It's been a struggle
Trying to make sense
Out of scrambled eggs
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
I painted a bar
And I never got paid
In a town where everyone was unemployed
I was locked in
On Easter day
All I had to eat was a piece of bread
When I got home
My mother said
"You're a lazy bum,
and that's how come
You suffer like that
And you'll starve
All your life
All your life"
Spoken just like it was a curse
But it didn't really sound so bad
I like to make things up
It's the healthiest thing that I do
But I'm tired
From being kidnapped
By a dark wolf that would do me in
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
I'm just saying how I feel
Maybe you could try to understand
I'm a man who needs you
When I'm down
Really down
Nothing matters
Nothing does
I close my eyes
To go to sleep
But I can't sleep
I can't sleep
You can listen
To these songs
Have a good time
And walk away
But for me
It's not that easy
I have to live these songs forever
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
Daniel Dale Johnston (January 22, 1965 – September 2, 2019) was an American singer-songwriter and painter considered an iconic figure in alternative folk rock. Born in Sacramento, California, Johnston spent most of his life in Houston, Texas.
