Saving a life

I can see it all laid out before me
Seems no other way that it could be

Just another life gone off the tracks
Just another bout of anxiety attacks

Some people don’t want to be saved
Pressure, pain, inwards he's caved

All I have to offer is warming words
They matter less than twittering birds

When that dark hound comes at you
It's impossible for others to break through

How can you change a mental state?
How can you save a life, before it’s too late?
