There’s somebody out here watching
This right now
You might be watching it live or somebody
Might be showing it to you
But, I’m kind of talking to you
Talking to you directly
You’re feeling super lonely
Might be addicted and you’re trying
To figure a way out
And you’re thinking what the hell do I do
I’m trapped I’m lonely
Umm, may be addicted I have low self
Esteem and all these people who
Are doing better than me are beating
Up on me and controlling me
Their opinions are actually just breaking
My brain I can’t
Stop thinking about what they said about me
Is that you? Yeah that is you
I’m going to give you at least a few tricks
This will just be a start it’s
Not going to fix anybody instantly
But I’ll give you a few
Tricks for escaping that, okay?
Some brain hacks
Some life hacks and it goes like this
Number one

Always remember the basket case theory
That’s trick one, everybody is broken
Always remember the basket case theory
No complete people, just broken people
Always remember the basket case theory
That’s trick one, everybody is broken
They're just completely broken
And you should have pity on them

The person who's talking to you
And is insulting you they're broken
Did you say to yourself, "Oh my goodness
Somebody who's normal is criticising me"
Do you know how many times that's happened?
How many times has a person who's got it
Together and they're normal and
They're criticising you
How many times has that ever happened
Do you think a lot?
'Cause the answer is zero it's never happened
Nobody who has their act together is
Criticising you in cruel ways
But you are getting criticized in cruel ways
You're being judged not by good people you're
Being judged by thoroughly broken people
Who are acting out they're taking
Out their pain on you
If you imagine that they're
Complete somehow good
People well that feels pretty bad
Because you don't want somebody
That you respect
Or at least think is normal
To be judging you that feels terrible
They don't exist, they don't exist
That thing that somebody said
It was sad the words exist
But there's no such thing
As an unbroken person saying
That kind of stuff

Always remember the basket case theory
That’s trick one, everybody is broken
Always remember the basket case theory
No complete people, just broken people
Always remember the basket case theory
That’s trick one, everybody is broken
They're just completely broken
And you should have pity on them

They're just completely broken
And you should have pity on them
And your first thought should be empathy
Not feeling bad so that’s your first trick
Remember the basket case theory
Nobody’s good, it just doesn’t exist
And trust me, the older you get
The more people you meet
The more you will know this is true
There are no complete people
Just broken people
The more broken they are the more they
Are going to come after you
Cause they need that
They need to push you down so
They can feel good for today

(They're just completely broken
And you should have pity on them)
(They're just completely broken
And you should have pity on them)
(They're just completely broken
And you should have pity on them)
