lyrics

Lyrics:

I'm fine
I said I'm fine
At least I think I am
Getting out of this soon enough
the self-fulfilling prophecy

Realism is the great leveller
The weight of the noose around my neck
numbs me, yet you proceed to pull it tighter
still standing on the scaffold
but refusing to pull the lever
suffer to survive

I'll cope,
I always have
Just another obstacle to take
the biggest one yet

But there is doubt emerging
Feeding on hope
Barren grounds
Scorched earth
Ideal for fear
Famine

No more room for the what ifs
the could have beens,
the should have dones
A fool's hope, nothing more

Time to grow up
face reality
lose the smile now
set a straight face
facing grim odds
The rope rottens
Its grip loosens
Breath fills my lungs

face reality
lose the smile now
set a straight face
facing grim odds
Hope incarnate
Suffer to survive
