If you have nothing nice to say
Don't say nice things anyway
Nothing gets better if we all
Act like there's nothing wrong
I can see through
To the real you
Imperfect
There's a screw loose
Something broken
What a break through
You can't seek help
I can't fix you
You can't hide the entire world
So stop acting like such a bottom-feeder
It's a face we're all paid to wear
The cheer only makes the venom sweeter
It's a bonfire, it's a war front
It's a purge night, it's a witch hunt
It's a car crash, it's a failed stunt
It's a cult
EVERYTHING IS FINE
This is my therapy
I can't afford any expertise
So I'm stuck overprocessing
Every goddamn thing
I gotta take the time to catastrophize
And break apart and analyze
Every tiny thing that comes to mind
I'm going off all the fucking time
Every passing interaction
Leads me to a bad chemical reaction
Wanna be a better person I try to be
But I get held up by anxiety
Don't wanna convince myself "they hate me"
But then I go and cope by getting angry
Every time I fail to contain the itch
Fuck it time to hit the switch
Better get better at loving the rage
Bubbling over like every day
Do not believe all the people that try to be
Happy no matter what troubles they face
Put on a face like everything's great
I can't erase that I really hate
The way they try to say that
I should live my life with naivety
I'm feeling the pang of all mistakes
Of every time I bite my feet
Properly stuck in a cycle of panic
The manic analysis, stopping me, telling me
Slow down and breathe
Calm down my mind
Lie to myself and think
EVERYTHING IS FINE
Oh no, it just happened again
(What am I supposed to think?)
I didn't mean what I said
And I don't need more fake friends
(You won't tell me what you mean)
Oh no, we're trapped playing pretend
(I thought i knew where we stood)
Slap a smile on and swear it's not for my defense
(What, I'm supposed to read your mood?)
Oh no, I've heard white lies were tame
(This came out of left field)
My thoughts getting dark but I can't say the same
(The truth has been revealed)
Oh no, the mask is cracking
(Without a warning sign)
I'll feed you a line
Just please don't come round asking
EVERYTHING IS FINE
