Story Behind The Song
Robert Downey Jr. said and this is not verbatim, but that if you ask an addict if they are okay and answer in short, yea, I'm all right, they are not. I had a close relative who is addicted to painkillers who is the poster child for this statement...

Lyrics
I'm All Right (Help Me)
Picking up the pieces on the ground
Trying to put them back together without a sound
Missing all the words I want to say
Watching them rise up and fall back into their cage
So when you ask me how I'm feeling
I can only reply?
I'm all right
So you're all right with me
Then we're all right
Leaving all the pieces on the ground
I'm all right, Help Me!
Can you see the storm behind my eyes?
Hiding below the surface where the truth lies, lies, lies
This is what I'm wanting you to see
Not this smile on my face I've been painting on me?
So when you ask me how I'm feeling
I can only reply?
CHORUS
Bridge Rap
Got a bad condition, strained admission
Sitting on top of a world of confliction
Inside under my pride
I'm screaming out for you to open me wide
And play me, play me, throw out a line and save me, save me?
How can I put myself together without making a sound?
I'm all right
So you're all right with me
Then we're all right
Leaving all the pieces on the ground
I'm all right, Help Me!
Bridge Rap (Underneath the above chorus to fade)
Got a bad condition, strained admission
Sitting on top of a world of confliction
Inside under my pride
I'm screaming out for you to open me wide
And play me, play me, throw out a line and save me, save me?
