The world went mad first I found my head in screens, backlit, back arched Watching my friends turn to adverts All these lives on charge, but never in charge In a forest of smiles, I fake it Wearing faded Reeboks like damaged packaging Tired of being the not okay kid But I'm the same adult, not managing I'm tryna go through the motions But I'm flowing through treacle I show no commotion So I don't see no equals I'm tryna take it all to task But it's a brick wall Imma fake it to the last Even if the shit is lethal Tryna go through the motions But I'm flowing through treacle I show no commotion So I don't see no equals I'm tryna take it all to task But it's a brick wall And the world flows past the glass It's a new kind of lonely I see myself in endless faces The truth of my mind is locked here only Trying to find myself in drowned places Behind dulled eyes I know I could find minds That align with mine Living our lives on the line

You'll be okay We all fall down sometimes We're all fragile but actually In your smile beauty lies Intricate you Breakable you and I But we're all just trying Underneath the breaking sky I'll catch you when you fall fast through night Warm hands outstretched, holding your thoughts tight I know it's hard to be drifting, to know nothing's sure 'Cept that you're not gonna stumble upon a miracle cure How d'you treat yourself right when your head's in flight? I stretch fingers praying for insight Cause honestly, I'm drifting too I think we're all drifting through I thought I knew all of you, I'm so full of shit I'm empty I see blurred figures where I saw two twenties I see plenty aphorisms and cognitive dissonance But who listens out for the listeners? It's insidious (Tell me why) I try when I know I'll just disappoint (Tell me why) I push myself past the breaking point (Tell me why) I make myself smile for cameras (Tell me why) I love like the snow loves travellers What if I just spent more time on you? Lied to you? Tried to hide the truth? Signed off the work I had to do? You'd see right through You know I'm an addict, you know that I panic Though I know the day's wasted if it's not manic Yours and mine are violent minds, and that's fine Maybe it's a sign of the times We've all got pressures But if you ever need me, message If I don't get it, I'll always try to stop you stressing Maybe if we're lucky we'll forget it Force the globe to be snowflake-fretted

fine like this 03:17

You should understand I don't care what I find inside my mind Turned my head to my home in time It wasn't planned Feeling this incomplete, and all these dirty sheets Show what I'll be How much time has passed? You've been so close to me for eternities The cracked wall supporting me We'll both outlast There's no need to pretend, though you're hell sent You're with me until the end But you don't make me brittle, ever since I was little I've been tryna find my middle through sides of a mind like this An evolving existence, hard to persist with this resistance Living off the insistence that I can be fine like this I'm trying to be better Tryna fuck with with all the pressure I won't be the same girl from my childhood I finally feel like a real person Even when my mind worsens I know I can be good Would you be okay If you knew all my thoughts, the ups, the flaws? You don't have to stay, it's your choice I'll be there always I'll learn to tread my lines, know when I'm fine I've got yours if you've got mine I live my life in fragments, temporary attachments But I'm sick of detachment, didn't think we'd decline like this Taking it moment to moment, when I'm my own opponent I know I can show it to you, I'll be fine like this I'm trying to be better Tryna fuck with with all the pressure I won't be the same girl from my childhood I finally feel like a real person Even when my mind worsens I know I can be good I know I can be good
