Think of it another way - it's a rainy day and you see a car on the side of the road. Someone is sitting in it with the flashers on. ~Or~ there's a car at the side of the road and someone is in the drizzle attempting to fix something (tire - whatever). Which one is likely to get help first?
I guarantee, in general people who are working hard to resolve their own issues get help much quicker than those who aren't. I'm willing to bet it works the same way collectively.

Au contraire DD, walking the plank alone takes mental might. Some prefer ten hours of egotistical, moral inducing BS, like you see on bungee jumps.
Hell, just give me the edge and i'll jump, ropes are for wussies

You
In your shell
Are you waiting for someone to rescue you
From yourself
Don't be disappointed when no one comes
Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it
I already told you that falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
If you don't believe you can find a way out
You've become the problem
Become the problem
You
All alone
Are you waiting for someone to make you whole?
Can't you see?
Aren't you tired of this dysfunctional routine?
Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it
Don't blame me you didn't get it
I already told you that falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
If you don't believe you can find a way out
You've become the problem
Become the problem
I already told you that falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
If you don't believe you can find a way out
You've become the problem
Become the problem
Falling is easy
It's getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
And if you believe you can find a way out
Then you've solved the problem
You've solved your problem
