Lyrics:
I’m rough around the edges
Mistake me for pretentious
I get stuck in my head
It’s not personal, it’s just personal
I’ve been strong for too long
Sometimes I forget why I’m trying
I’m trying
I’m trying
I’m just a statistic
Just another tragic misfit
Ship that cliche to the clinic
Document my disposition
Then they put me in a box
Slap a label on the top
Tape me up and ship me off
Now I’m someone else’s problem
They call me damaged
I let them think what they like
They call me difficult
'Cause I don’t fit in the lines
But I didn’t get this far without any scars
I’m not brittle
Well, maybe just a little
A little
I’m not brittle
If I get defensive
Don’t say I'm oversensitive
Maybe I have a tendency to snap on people telling me,
“You fit inside this box we built, we know you better than yourself”
They’re lying
They’re lying
They’re lying
I tell myself
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
I'm alive, I'm not a diagnosis
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
You’re alive, you’re not a diagnosis
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
I’m not a diagnosis
Keep breathing
Don't lose focus

I don't know if you will read this after two years, but as a recovered alcoholic, I thank you. This song says so much that most will never understand. I know the person that wrote this suffered their own, or had someone close that did. It also calls out that once an addict, always an addict and that every single day is another battle for yourself, and that every day you survive is another victory. Keep up the good fight. Now, and forever.

As did the rest of the video, but that was the first shot that made me really feel it and get into the narrative. The whole thing was a masterpiece, though.

I am so happy they chose this song! It's just crazy relatable for me, anxiety and depression are a daily struggle and I hate that people think if you have certain things you shouldn't BE anxious or depressed, I hate that there's STILL a stigma around mental health and that we slipped so bad in helping those in need during COVID-19. I know it's been said to death, but I SO needed this album in 2021, I can't stop listening to the whole thing over and over.

Ok... But can we talk about how gorgeous this music video is? Not just visually speaking, but also referring to the message behind the visuals. Rel was being held back by her struggles with her mental health. Shawn was drowning in addiction. I feel like they were slipping through the cracks in each other's grips. The labels were overwhelming. They were so worried about the labels that they never focused on getting well. The POWER I felt when Rel woke up at the end. And when she and Shawn were performing together. There's something indescribably beautiful about seeing them together, healing at the end of their storms.

I work with people who have addictions and have been homeless, helping them gain and maintain housing, and giving them the support they want to pursue their personal goals. The way you communicated the idea of being a statistic, and when somebody dies or gets very sick namelessly but there's another person there watching, grieving...it reminded me of the people I work with. I've seen too many files where we are their only emergency contact, and there is no next of kin.

ariel, your songs give off so much strength to those all struggling with anything, and everybody is. Anyone that says they never struggle are lying. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, what you have, how you look, who you are in any shape or form, everyone struggles with something and that's ok to admit. what doesn't seem like a big deal to one person, it's life and death to another person. It's all in how an individual person perceives something. you aren't 'screwed up' for having your individual thoughts and feelings on something. YOU are and individual and you can feel what you feel without there needing to be a reason for it and that's ok. no one has to be able to see that you're tearing yourself up inside your head. Ariel really shows that you don't need to hide it until it brings you to life or death. this song brings so much strength to fight it all and come back to yourself and take control.

So both of your stories in this video touched my heart in such significant ways and like you I tell all that I can you can live successfully in recovery and with depression with my art, writing, and pictures. When ya'll played together in white, that was my favorite part. Like my wife who is such a support to me I see the support you give each other. Bravo, this will be on repeat....
