Subliminal Spectrum - We Are Not Okay Lyrics

Heard talk about it, rarely ever seen it out
And when I do I really doubt it's genuine, but then again I'm a cynic
Maybe that's the problem, maybe that's the root
Maybe I'm the cause, or maybe I'm just the proof
And maybe you're okay and it's just me dangling on this noose
While walking on a tight rope hoping my balance I don't lose
Hoping my balance I don't lose

We're chasing down okay, we're chasing down okay
We're chasing down the shadow of something we don't know
We're chasing down okay, we're chasing down okay
We're chasing down a shadow

We're chasing down okay, we're chasing down okay
We're chasing down the shadow of something we don't know
We're chasing down okay, we're chasing down okay
We're chasing down a shadow

Being normal is boring, is that what they say
Being okay I'm betting's the same
Prior quadrennium everything changed
Out with the old because every day change

I'm getting old and now every day's strange
And I'm balanced on tight ropes and hanging on strings
And I'm tired, so tired, of just trying to stay sane
As if I were in the first place

Pretended so for twenty years, full immersion acting
Life is good, it's black and white, I've got my satisfaction
Erosion of delusion, confusion of a mad man
Broken institution, fruits bruising in the badlands

Standing, but just barely
Wearied eyes looking wary
On horizon, recognizing
That every day's got it's burdens to carry

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know okay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know okay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know okay
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know okay
