How Are You

Tell me what you need, tell me how you are Hold that thought and just keep on telling me you're fine All we gotta do, is tell a little lie Hold that thought and just keep on telling me you're fine How am I? I feel good, I feel alright, I can't complain Okay I lied. I could look maybe if I tried Feel like I could just lie down here on the street and I'd be content I feel tired now but I feel wired later on in my bed Feel like I have just been living in my head So I've been paying double rent I feel like cleaning up this clutter and this mess Feel like doing gateway drugs while I am sitting on the fence I feel I've woven my regrets into a nest But I digress I feel alright! I'm feeling better than before If this talk was any smaller it won't fit me anymore Yeah I feel fine - got everything I didn't want I got paid, I got my fucking name in slightly bigger font I feel I blinked and 30 years just came and went Shit when they asked me what I'd like to be I shoulda said content I feel finer than a speck of dust but no one here relates Cause when I ask 'em how they are they always say alright I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine alright alright I'm fine I'm fine o-okay Is that all you want me to say? I'm so bored it's always the same What's the point of talking that way? When your story's all on your face Hide that real portrait away Yeah good morning Dorian Grey I feel like. I feel like you are so consistent I feel like you should probly whisper me the trick to it Cause I could go and change completely in an instant I'm weak, but I'm powerful I'm fine thanks, how are you? Tell me what you need, tell me how you are Hold that thought and just keep on telling me you're fine All we gotta do, is tell a little lie Hold that thought and just keep on telling me you're fine So how am I? Marvellous I'm glad you interrupted me to ask me this Nah I've been a motherfucking basketcase I hate love I'm done with it I'll never break a heart again I'm sorry. I'm worried that I'm dumb and no-one's told me yet Drugs and drunkenness, I've gone little Hunter S Sitting on my rooftop long after the sun has set Bits of moon scattered like some trinkets in the darkness There just ain't nobody like me and I feel like I just can't connect So I just wanna run away just like my fucking father did Or slip inside my head to find the city where nobody lives No friendly charlatans, no bitter glass of fake champaign To gargle, rinse, and spit back at those two-face little Harvey Dents That smell that sulphur every time a rapper gets it in their head That they are dope as hell boy I am unconvinced But I digress, how am I? Fine I guess If you wanted me to answer fine then why the fuck you askin' then? Tell me what you need, tell me how you are Hold that thought and just keep on telling me you're fine All we gotta do, is tell a little lie Hold that thought and just keep on telling me you're fine
