Lyrics
Ok I’m a mess
Burned out and depressed
It feels like I’m stuck in hell
Facedown on a mattress
Sobbing like an actress
I don’t know if you can tell
The world is ending and I’m not taking it well
Where does the time go?
When we fall asleep at night
Feels like one second I’ve just closed my eyes
And then I wake up to the light
And I miss my nightmares
Cause these days it seems
Like reality is scarier
Than the worst of all my dreams
And when you ask me how I’m doing I’ll just say “ok”
Ok I’m a mess
Burned out and depressed
It feels like I’m stuck in hell
Facedown on a mattress
Sobbing like an actress
I don’t know if you can tell that
Trying to be an optimist
Through every fresh apocalypse is
A tough act to sell
The world is ending and I’m
Not taking it well
Where does the time go?
When we’re scrolling through our phones
I’ve never been more connected
I’ve never felt more alone
Glued to my newsfeed
So that I can see
The world fall apart around me
In breathtaking HD
And when you ask me how I’m doing I’ll just say “ok”
Ok I’m a mess
Burned out and depressed
It feels like I’m stuck in hell
Facedown on a mattress
Sobbing like an actress
I don’t know if you can tell that
Trying to be an optimist
Through every fresh apocalypse is
A tough act to sell
The world is ending and I’m
Not taking it well
Born too early to explore the galaxy
Born just to late to be a pirate sailing across the high seas
But count yourself lucky my friend; cause you showed up just in time
To watch your leaders lie on TV while their cronies rob you blind
And if you’d told me it would end like this without a whisper or a scream
But with one last vapid think-piece mocked by a final twitter meme
I can’t tell you if I would have laughed
Or if I would have cried
But I guess it would be easier
To pretend that I’m fine
Cause when you ask me how I’m doing I’ll just say “ok”
Ok I’m a mess
Burned out and depressed
It feels like I’m stuck in hell
Facedown on a mattress
Sobbing like an actress
I don’t know if you can tell that
Trying to be an optimist
Through every fresh apocalypse is
A tough act to sell
The world is ending and I’m
Not taking it well
