All In My Head Again

Realigning my brain, I think it needs a restart
Readjust my mind and how it's affecting my heart
  
I always FIND myself LOST, does that make any sense?
I think too much of cost that doesn't pay for all the space that it rents
  
There was a time that I could manage the mania the drop
But now I've lost that control and just want it to stop
   
Am I allowed to feel this way? I'm a parent, I'm a dad!
But my condition just gets worse the more pressure I add..
 
The highs just get lower and the lows never leave
I have everything I want and need and I still feel I can hardly breathe
  
So I'll get the help I need so I can be the real me
I'll do what it takes to be the man I want my kids to see...

psychologically, physically, emotionally....
