"How are you today?"
A rhetorical question
That needs an answer
"Are you okay?"
Nobody wants the truth, you're a glutton with it in any case
Heavy false hope's that the discomfort will lessen
Detachments from reality
Scurry to anything that resembles sanity
We keep a neat surface
It's for the outside world though
We keep a neat surface ,infinitely indebted to vanity
We fight indefinitely
Where are we going
We realise none but the mirror's our enemy
All words you wish to say
A plethora of voices
They're soaring
"How are you today?"
"I'm okay"
[Background Verse]
We get these feelings that we
We get these feelings that we
Smiling at the thought of it
Incoming Internal apocalypse
But I'ma ride it out
I'ma ride it out yeah
Padlock these words in my mouth
Coz I can never let it all go
Never let it all flow
Here's my sad summer
Building distance to not be a bummer
Dark clouds rain but they never wash away the pain
But good god I love these days
Sipping from your waters make me feel oh so well
Am I me in this moment, no snitching ,man I can't tell
But what I know is I want this feeling forever
Can't get any better
Living with it yeah yeah healing with it yeah yeah
So before we close up this flow, dam
I wanna say something that you might not understand
But you got me to feel
And though the thought is distant and I even question if it was all real
Daily life my anaesthesia and shit you got me to feel
Ride it out yeah!
And just like that it's here
And just like that it's gone
They say it's just in your mind
Like if I somehow get over it all, it'll be alright
Wish i could comfortably confide in you
But I'm fighting different ones than the demons that reside in you
So
I swallow my words
Til there's nothing left
Of them or me
I believe in you more than I do myself
I'm being eaten by my thoughts can't look out for you as well
Free in their eyes
Looking up at opium skies
If all goes south at least I tried
Another blackout can't tell if it's a white lie
