one day i'll be ok

can't eat

can't sleep

can't breathe

can't speak

can't see

can't be

i haven't been asleep for three days

red-eyed a tired and each waking moment's a replay

but i'll be okay

i'm gonna be okay

one day the sea will change

one day i'll feel great

maybe i'm just shaken

but i kinda feel like my whole life was taken

my mind is breaking

land is quaking

back is aching

i wanna backtrack this path i've taken

the slacker's lazy

lack a daisical lack of latent gain favouring games

in my safe space

happy to stay in my lane just to save face

that's me

afraid of the shame and the pain of the unknown

i'll save changing my ways for another day

no wonder i haven't grown

never impressed

my ship's sailing away

never done my best

nevertheless

i'm breaking the waves

one day i'll be okay

just give me time and give me space

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

just give me time and give me space

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

when did i become this monster?

i didn't even see

when did i become this shadow

of the things i used to be?

when did i become this shipwrecked soul?

i'm still lost at sea

when will i be rescued from this hole

and finally find me?

but i'll be okay

i'm going to be okay

one day the sea'll change

one day i'll feel great

when we peep beneath the surface

then we see the deeper purpose

though my knees are weak

i'm nervous

i'm never gonna let it keep me down 'cause i'm determined

to weather any storm

a devil can present in many forms

money falls

and minds change

opinion can be bought

a penny for your thoughts

a pound for your prayers

it isn't the cellar door that's keeping you downstairs

it isn't a metaphor

we're breathing the foul air

we've met it before whenever people have held breath

and bitten the tongue that's just to be living in comfort

it'll come back to bite you right in the bum

look

i'm but an umbra

another apparition

listen

i'm not a number

i'm a prisoner wishing the vision of visitors visiting us is legitimate

and yet it isn't

i'm giving up

i'm giving up

one day i'll be okay

just give me time and give me space

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

just give me time and give me space

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

when did i become this monster?

i didn't even see

when did i become this shadow

of the things i used to be?

when did stop being human?

when did i lose my being?

when did i slip between the cracks

to the comforting gloom

unseen?

but i'll be okay

i'm going to be okay

one day the sea'll change

one day i'll feel great

i couldn't have been any better

i couldn't have done any more

i should have just written a letter

and let it wash up on the shore

i couldn't have been any stronger

i couldn't have kept up my chin

couldn't have done it any longer

i wouldn't know where to begin

i haven't been asleep for three days

red-eyed and tired and each waking moment's a replay

but i'll be okay

i'm gonna be okay

one day the sea'll change

one day i'll feel great

one day i'll be okay

just give me time and give me space

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

just give me time and give me space

one day i'll be okay

one day i'll be okay

when did i become this monster?

i didn't even see

when did i become this shadow

of the things i used to be?

when did become the wintrous vestige

left of a once fresh spring?

when did i become a whisper

of the song i used to sing?

but i'll be okay

i'm going to be okay

one day the sea'll change

one day i'll feel great
