Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up wearing my face
Like a shirt I never chose
They say, “Smile for the camera”
While I count the cracks in my bones
I’m not broken
I’m just here
Hands in my pockets
Trying to disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Be happy”
Like it’s a switch
Like I can flip it
Like I can fix this
[Chorus]
I’m okay, I’m okay
That’s what I say
I’m okay, I’m okay
But it don’t stay
Don’t tell me to glow
Don’t tell me to grin
I got ice in my chest
And a pulse under it
[Verse 2]
I laugh at the table
I nod at the joke
My mouth does the motion
My heart stays remote
I keep my promises
I show up on time
I’m doing my best
To look like I’m fine
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Be happy”
Like I forgot how
Like joy’s a door
I’m locking right now
[Chorus]
I’m okay, I’m okay
That’s what I say
I’m okay, I’m okay
But it don’t stay
Don’t tell me to glow
Don’t tell me to grin
I got ice in my chest
And a pulse under it
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not sad enough
For anybody’s prayer
Maybe I’m just tired
Of acting like I’m there
Hold my hand a second
Don’t fix what you see
Sit in the cold with me
Until it feels like me
[Final Chorus]
I’m okay, I’m okay
That’s what I say
I’m okay, I’m okay
But it don’t stay
Don’t tell me to glow
Don’t tell me to grin
I got ice in my chest
And a pulse under it
I’m okay, I’m okay
Let me be this way
Not happy yet
But I’m here today

Style
Alternative rock with metal edge, mid-tempo half-time stomp, jagged palm-muted guitars in verses and a wide, crashing chorus; pre-chorus opens into ringing chords and tom lift, chorus hits with layered gang vocals and octave doubles; bridge strips to low bass and clean voice before a final scream-soaked lift. Cold, intimate verses, punchy bright mix, icy reverbs, reverse cymbal swells, and a final chorus with feedback blooms and delayed shouts., warm, alternative rock, happy, metal
