T. Karras - Keep It Together Lyrics

Come on, let's keep this together
There's only one you, and you don't want to die
So let's try to keep this together okay?
Okay?
Yeah...

You may not know it, but I got moods
Angry, energetic, sad, frustrated, confused
Combine that with the constant obsession
What do you get? An unstable direction
I don't know when I'm about to blow...
And when I do, it's sort of like the wild west show
They all analyzing me, but they rooting for the sherrif's
For their gunshots will leave me dead in a carriage
I try so hard, just to keep it together
Only to be distracted by somebody's complexure
I know it's very pointless to be that obessive
But I can't help it, I'm pissed off he's more respected
I'm supposed to be a man and not get engaged
But I do it a lot and you know, I enrage!
I'm supposed to be a man, not a female in disguise
I'm trying my best; come on now, look into my eyes

I've got to keep it together...
No matter what...
I've got to keep it together...
No matter what...

When it comes to me and people, I'm very needy
And when it comes to interaction, I always completely...
Let my mind, just f*ck it up
And that's just the jist on how much my life sucks
I could try to explain the things that I see
But as a normal person, you wouldn't believe
I'll tell you... It's not as easy as it seems
Always trying to tell apart reality from dreams
I remember shit like the back of my hand
Especially the feelings... those moments... damn, damn, damn!
How the f*ck am I able to remember it all?
I should be stupid, shouldn't even speak at all
Maybe then I wouldn't be burned by the bigger picture
The purpose for which we live, now that's a tough pickle
I live the hard life, because there is nothing else
There is no such thing as "any" kind of help

I've got to keep it together...
No matter what...
I've got to keep it together...
No matter what...

I know people looking at me kinda stupid as I freak out
What is causing me to scream and shout?
Kick holes in the wall, punch all of y'all
Experience this fall, make threatening phone calls
I try deep breating, it doesn't reach the blood
Did I tell you I'm on a couple of perscribed drugs
Surely that should of helped to leave me calm
But knowing my body, I knew I'd be wrong
Every drug known to mankind has been tested on me
I feel like I'm in a lab and I'm their monkey
I feel embarrassed and stripped of my basic rights
They even throw me in confinement if I dare fight
Now you know why I have to "keep it together"
Because if I don't do anything than this will never...
Stop. So therefore I weather the storm
And every single day I become more wartorn

I've got to keep it together...
No matter what...
I've got to keep it together...
No matter what...
