Self-Help Panic by Batyk Lyrics

All of my friends
Want to kill themselves
And I can't stop them
I somehow managed
To stop myself
And now I have to save
Each and every one of them
That's how I help myself
And what I want is meaningless

(Some people cannot be helped)
(You matter)
(I have changed for the better)

It is not my job to fix others
It is okay if others get angry
It is okay to say "no"
It is not my job to take responsibility for others
I don't have to anticipate the needs of others
It is my job to make me happy
Nobody has to agree with me
I have the rights to my own feelings
I am enough
And now maybe people invent words for these things, maybe they call things like this panic but it upsets me because panic isn't- it's not that fucking simple. The idea of all this sensation being reduced to a word called panic is insulting
