A Choppy, Yet Sincere Apology - The Riverboat Gamblers, Mike Weibe, Rob Marchant

You wouldn’t know me depression kicks in, when panic’s attacking and I miss

medicine

When my neck can’t hold up my head and I just can’t get out of bed

When you see me uncomfortably chain smoking, trying to force up a smile

Then I’m slippin' (slippin') again

And I don’t wanna drag no one down with my problem

That’s in my head

I’ll probably snap out but I just don’t know when

Apologies from me

This is nothing that I want you to see

Trying to drown out that ringing voice

Mike, give it up, give it up

Like a pick in a hollow body

Give it up, give it up, give it up down

Into the sea, tentacles got me by the neck and they’re pulling me down

I try to keep in check

Stay on top, teeter tot won’t balance I guess

Every time I get one under control the rest start rising and then

I stay shut up in my home

Agoraphobic and alone

'Til with bit lip, fuck it, I gotta try

Hands clenching, sweating

Don’t want no one to see in my mind

It’s not a pretty sight

The right half don’t work and the screws aren’t tight

Apologies from me

This is nothing that I want you to see

Trying to drown out that ringing voice

Mike, give it up, give it up

Like a pick in a hollow body

Give it up, give it up, give it up down

Into the sea, tentacles got me by the neck and they’re pulling me down
