Judah... I tried

One gonna heal my body another gonna heal my pain
One gonna settle me down then bring me back up again
I’m gonna put my family back together again

It turns out that, despite the problem, watching videos of people having sex
drinking a lot of beer, playing video games, and listening to nothing but NPR-
all constantly on a set of noise canceling headphones- does not fix anything.
I could have sworn to God that the porno would have worked.
One gonna hold my woman another gonna hold my job
One gonna help me get up, another gonna help me stop
One gonna help me talk right, one gonna lay me down to sleep
It's exhausting, keeping up contempt; hanging out in the back of your mind
reminding you of what you hate. Honestly, it's been done, so what's there to do.
It's all okay, but it's just exhausting - change.
One gonna hold my thoughts and another gonna hold my bones
One gonna keep me warm and another gonna keep me cold
One gonna bring religion, right from a Coleman stove
Battle's doing fine, except for the obvious.
They're 'loud something ekil a ruof yad ssap siht emit dnuora.
tib a pleh dluohs taht os
One gonna help me keep em’ another gonna help me tame
One gonna run me down (Hell a bullets in my way)
You’re gonna keep my soul it was yours to have long ago
ylrae pu gnikaw dna etal deb ot gniog neeb ve'I, keew a ni tpels t'nevah I ekil sleef tI
peels t'nac tsuj I .ti pleh ot elba neeb yllaer t'nevaH
I’m gonna buckle my belt around the ceiling pipe
I’m gonna buckle my knees and I’m gonna lock em’ up tight
I’m gonna hold a pen while you drag my arm across the page
But maybe it's just like the redevelopment of skin.
daeh eht no niks tnrub-nus dlab ehT
One gonna hold my memories another gonna close the door
One gonna leave me restless another wanting more
You’re gonna keep my soul it was yours to have long ago
