lyrics

I slice and pierce and whittle my way through
These pointless things I do
For what?
To make some cash
To buy these things
Just spend

I never thought about the little things I've been missing out on
It's so easy when it's the same routine everyday

In my whole life, I wonder who I've touched
I wonder who knows I'm alive
Between the sky above and the sea below
What have I become
Standing here right now, at the edge of reason

One million miles away I could begin again
Wipe everything clear
I want to jump out
Want to melt and morph
Live a new life, where no one knows my name
Have a thousand first impressions
See a thousand sun sets
Have nothing to chain me
Be who I wanted to be
With peace of mind
I'd lose sense of time
Every night

And it's staring right at me
Will you ever be who you wanted to be
Right now
Will you ever find someone
Not just anyone
I'm doing the best I can
All aboard
Stop asking me if I'm okay
I'm not

I am not okay
I am not okay
I am not okay
Tired of living this way
Tired of living day to day
I want a cure
Once and for all
I am not okay
But I'm not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
I've found my peace this time
I'm not afraid
I am not afraid
