Ooh yeah yeah

It’s been weeks of this

It’s true yeah

Separated but together yeah

What to do yeah

Who knew yeah

None would know just what to do yeah

Separated but together

With our thoughts and fears

We’re all not Ok

We’re all not OK

We’re all not OK

But we’re not alone

Someone asked how I was, I said that I'm blessed

But I should've confessed, that what I am is depressed

I'm barely abreast, But I'm doing my best

I'm pretty Anxious, but pursuing Your rest

I'm supposed to have peace that I can't fathom

But loss and losing hope seem to work in tandem

Though the brief says faith is my life's anthem

All this grief is holding that shaky faith ransom

I'm here staring at everything you promised and

There's milk and honey, but also giants in the promised land

We've fallen victim the mass charade

While we're all balling underneath the masquerade

Who will comfort who when we're all crying

Who will resurrect when we're all dying

The bloody puddings in the proof

We're all fighting nail and tooth

And who will stand for the truth if we're all lying

We’re all not Ok

We’re all not OK

We’re all not OK

But we’re not alone

We’re all not Ok

We’re all not OK

We’re all not OK

But we’re not alone

M treading through pain

Keep my head my head above the trauma

So I don’t choke on the water

I hope the waves will soon be over

For now I’m just finding ways to remain sober

Death is so toxic it keeps coming closer

Losing everybody around me

Not just folks who are older

Best friends and loved ones I’ve dreamed with

But now thinking what could’ve been

Is what I sleep with

Being okay is so foreign it just feels like a myth

I know His love is wide but often I forget about its width

I try to control emotions but I’m not able

I’m constantly crying cause I’m not feeling stable

I am so numb to death and it congests the nasal

I can never smell my anxiety coming when its fatal

Like how Mourning a friend made me grief my past failures

Taught me how to cope

To be my own saviour

Why have I grown a new liking for some bad behaviour

I was good when no good came to me

Where was my favour

We’re not alone

We’re not alone

We’re not alone
