[Intro]
Call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you need to
To make yourself comfortable
[Verse 1]
I've not left the house in a while
I've not felt a glimpse of ease
And I have not made much headway
Since I have come back from the war
[Verse 2]
And I no longer give a damn
'Bout things that used to matter
And I am covering my eyes
As I am frozen on the spot
[Chorus]
And call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you need to
To make yourself comfortable
So I am debilitated
I can't remember where the sentence started
When I'm trying to finish it
And all of you are so frustrated
And everyone around me is tryna help as much as they can
[Verse 3]
My house is spotless, my lens is
Skewed, my limbs, they recoil
And I'm folding in on myself
Since I am out of order
[Chorus]
Call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you want to
To make yourself comfortable
So I am debilitated
I can't remember where the sentence started
When I'm trying to finish it
And all of you are so frustrated
And everyone around me is tryna help as much as they can
[Bridge]
But I'm alone in this meltdown
Of nervousness diagnosis
[Chorus]
Call it what you want
'Cause I don't even care anymore
Call me what you need to
To make yourself comfortable
So I am debilitated
I can't remember where the sentence started
When I'm trying to finish it
And all of you are so frustrated
And everyone around me is tryna help as much as they can
[Outro]
Call it what you want
Call me what you need to
To feel comfortable

I think as a celebrity, someone in the public eye, I don’t get a lot of loving, gentle feedback from people. I will either get positive or negative projections, or egregious misperception or misunderstanding of where I was coming from. I’ve been perceived as wildly sane. I’ve been perceived as unsta...
The song made its televised debut on June 5, 2020 on “The Late Late Show with James Corden”:
