He's Too Quiet - Pages

Even when I do exactly what I should
It never helps me
Rip the pages from the book
They only brought me down

I've been struggling
What the fuck do I know
You can only suffer if you're feeling suicidal
Not if you are middle-class
And own the latest iPhone
Isn't that what you told a young Zack Wisehall?

We live in an age
Where we excess everything every day
Look down on the minimum wage
But look up to the people who pay it
And these books aren't helping
Self-help is weak
So I buy yet another in the hopes that the future won't look so bleak
Any chance I can get
Better than the current me who's feeling upset
Better than the angry, sad alternate
'Cause I'd rather see in colour than in your silhouette

Even when I do exactly what I should
It never helps me
Rip the pages from the book
They only brought me down

Whilst getting anti-d's for your health
I've been battling with myself
I don't know who I am anymore
But I'll figure it out without your help
Now I'm anxious again
Why can't I make or keep any friends?
Why does every word that comes out my mouth
Make me sick to my stomach 'til I'm feeling condemned?

I'm not Josh, I'm not Ci
I'm not Yatez, fucks sake I'm me
I'm not Grime, I'm not Trap
I'm not Hip Hop, Rock or Rap
Why do I punish myself like this?
Speak your own words not someone elses
Pick myself up and be selfish
Take my history and burn the pages

Even when I do exactly what I should
It never helps me
Rip the pages from the book
They only brought me down

Follow these 5 easy steps to change your life
Only $5000

Get up at 5am, ignore the news, stay off the internet
Hit the gym, you are the prize
Get 8 hours of sleep, you don't need 8 hours of sleep
When you get home from work, work on your side hustle
Make sure you make time for family and friends
Be selfish now and spend the rest of your life in luxury, alone
Eat well, hustle, hit the gym. No more zero days
Travel, learn a new language
Forgive yourself, hold yourself accountable
Believe in the law of attraction, manifest destiny
Only you can make your dreams come true
Socialise, network
Eat Vegan
Eat Paleo
Eat Keto
Hit the gym
Remove social media
Market yourself online
Walk away
You can change
People never change

Even when I do exactly what I should
It never helps me
Rip the pages from the book
They only brought me down
