The Help

Written 2026

Unreleased

I'm still learning to do what I was told The fear is taking me down and turning me old Now will you tell me what's coming round? My parts are speaking and pouring out| The tears are helping me see you through this smoke

Come burn your pain inside this circle And hold your candle out You can call my name and talk to your journal We'll pause the world for now

I'm gripping on to what I can but it's slipping through my hands So it seems I pick at this body under the circumstance Got the levers to keep me from overeating but compulsion is coming forward to show me where I stand What happened to retreat? What happened to the sweet release? What happened to my inner promise that I'm always living free? In the meeting at work and I feel the opposite of peace My mind is off in all directions tryna look for any keys

So how many times must I give it up? How many times will I sit there shaking? I was a boy feeling anxious But I was a son who forgot his maker You made a song to tell me this story I wrote a note to share that I'm scared I Don't wanna face this day in the morning Don't wanna feel on trial for my life

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward

I'm still learning to do what I was told The fear is taking me down and turning me old Now will you tell me what's coming round? My parts are speaking and pouring out The tears are helping me see you through this smoke

Come burn your pain inside this circle And hold your candle out You can call my name and talk to your journal We'll pause the world for now

We've been here before, it's great to see you again I've been learning my lessons and spending time with my friends But I'm wanting escape from the current forms that I'm in Tells me I've been forgetting the basic layer within

But that isn't the comfort I really need at this moment I feel my heart has been aching for different ways to be open I feel the call from inside to listen close to my sighs My ego wants to be wise But I just want to be held

I just want to be known I just want to be seen I don't wanna be worrying bout some dreams in the dream Cause I know I'm arriving if I see them as neutral I don't want an assignment, I don't need to be useful

I'm a pretty simple guy when it comes to it Just need enough love and a little bit of music I just need enough space, a little bit of movement Let go of the rest and get to it

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward

I'm still learning my part inside this game The peace is here if I learn we're all the same I wish I could tell ya what's coming round It's not for speaking and saying now Just know that you will be glad when you're back safe

We'll build our flame inside this circle Now hold your candle out You can call my name and water your soil We'll pause the world for now

We'll pause the world for now Pause the world for now We'll pause the world for now Call my name and water your soil World for now Can call my name and water your soil We'll pause the world for now

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward

If I fail I'll fail forward I'll sail onward
