Pollinators - Steve Lyrics

It took a year or so
To help myself
I stayed in hospital
I stayed in cell
And also stayed in a long long while
Smoking too much and skipping trial
Out of touch with all my friends
And with reality
No thought of consequence
No thinking through
I was delusional
So drugged up too
People called the cops on me
When I was all disorderly
It's embarrassing to admit
I let things go that far
When I needed help for my mental health
I waited too long to check my head
When I should have seen a doctor
I ended up behind bars instead
One friend was there for me
When others weren't
Most friends had given all
They could muster
But when he saw me at my worst
Steve acted on his concerns
Not with judgement
Just with care
And real encouragement
It's true what people say
When you need help
No one can do it for you
Except yourself
But it helps to have someone
By your side until it's all done
Sure that you'll overcome hard times
And be yourself again
When I went through months of trouble
You stayed in my life til I got well
You visited me in treatment
You wrote me that letter when I was in jail
All Summer
