Lyrics

I'm this weird part of my life. I really am

It's this great thing where I'm just letting go

Of a lot of shit and also kind of discovering stuff about myself

Like, uh, real I found out recently I have, like, depression issues. I couldn't believe it

I always hate it when people are like, "Oh, I'm fucking depressed"

Shut up, you fucking pussy. Just get up and plow through it like the rest

I've got a clinical depression

I can't even get off the ground. I had no fucking empathy whatsoever

I used to look at those people like, what the fuck is wrong with them?

And I had the exact same thing

I had no fucking idea, you know? I don't have, like, clinical depression

I have, like, I have regular depression, you know? I got the regular stuff

Like, a lot of fucked up shit happened to me

I never dealt with it. I just kind of kept putting it over here, you know?

It just sort of floats over here. Every once in a while

It taps me on the shoulder like, hey, you ready to deal with this shit?

I'm like, okay, maybe

Or I could death stroll on gram and watch some guy

Refurbishing old skillets for, like, the next three hours, maybe. Yeah. Oh, yeah

I'll stay up till 3 in the morning watching people like power wash

Like, sidewalks and driveways rather than unpacking that shit

And it's always fucking tapping me on the shoulder

You know, creeping up on me

I call it the fog

So I, I fucking, I try to stay ahead of it

And I have all these hobbies and all these different things that I do

So I just keep moving, so it can't keep up with me, right?

And I've noticed, at some point, I'm gonna have to face this shit, right?

So the end of last year, I was taking

Like, six weeks off from the road, and I knew this shit was coming, right?

I felt it

It was, hey, here you go, Bill

You're off the road. Time to deal, right?

And this time, I was like, you know what? Fuck this

I'm just gonna sit in this shit as long as I could sit in it

You know, and see what happens, right?

So it took about three days before my wife noticed, right?

I was sitting over in the corner

I had, like, an Afghan, like, wrapped around me

I wasn't shaving and shit

I'm just sitting there watching TV all day

And you know what's funny?

When you shave your head like this

It looks like you know jujitsu, possibly, you know?

But after three days, you look like some retired shoe salesman

You know, that didn't get the gold watch

So I'm sitting there, and my wife, you know, we got two little kids

It took her a few days to notice

She finally takes me in. She just goes, she goes

Hey, what's, uh, what's going on with you?

She's like, is everything all right? And I was like, uh, no

And she's like, what's the matter?

And for the first time in 20 years of knowing her

I actually communicated an emotion

I swear to God

She goes, what's the matter? And I go, I'm sad

Exactly

That's fucking hilarious coming out of a man's mouth. It's just funny. Yeah

She didn't know what the fuck to do. Right?

Men aren't allowed to be sad. We're allowed to be one of two things

We're allowed to be mad or fine. That's it. Right?

Those are normal behaviors of a man

You can be mad like, Jesus Christ, who put this here?

How many fucking times do I got to say to keep this goddamn area clean?

Jesus Christ, somebody's going to fall and break their fucking neck

I'm so tired. I've said it 100, 100, 100 fucking times already

Right?

And then what is your wife just fucking rolls her eyes?

I'll just send him out in the yard, let him walk it off, throw him a beer out there

He'll be fine. Right? Yeah, he'll be good

Right?

You're allowed to be that or fine

How you doing, Bill? I'm fine

You sure? Yeah, I'm sure

I said I was fine. Why the fuck would I say I was fine?

And you're just right back over there

And your whole fucking life is that

And what's weird about a guy is we feel all the other emotions

Right? Melancholy, being sentimental, enjoying a sunset, all of that type of shit

But all this in here is just called gay

Right? It's just a giant bag of gay

You swing it over your shoulder and you fucking throw that in the woods

That's it

You do that for half a century

One day you grab your fucking chest and you go down and then that's it

It's a fucking wrap

Yeah

So, you know, I'm an old dad

I got to be here for my kids, so I got to start figuring myself out here

So, yeah, I just told her

I was like, fuck it. I just said I'm sad

And she just went like, she just went, oh

She's like, was it something I did? Did I do something?

I said, no, you owe me a great. You owe me a great

This is some shit from a long time ago, you know

That I've just been thinking it's been coming up and all of that

It's just been really bothering me

And she goes, oh, okay, well, I'm sorry

And then she just walked out of the room

And I couldn't even get mad at her

I was just envious, right?

I was like, I didn't know you could fucking do that

All these years of listening to you dump your day on me

Actively listen

Mandy said that to you? No, she didn't

Oh, my goodness. So what did you say?

Oh, you said that? No, you are totally within your right to say that

And I feel proud to be with you

Knowing that you stuck up for yourself in that fucking moment

Jesus Christ. Right? Yes, I didn't realize that I could just be like

Oh, that's between you and Mandy?

All right, take it easy. Good luck with that shit

I'm going to go watch some hockey

That is some you and Mandy shit. Let me know how that works out

Or don't, I don't give a fuck
