It's Okay

Feeling important on a busy street
Like a protagonist from good TV
Picturing myself on a shiny screen
Fellow pedestrians do you think like me?

And now I'm feeling hungry at the grocery
Humming along to the top 40
Each package whispers, shouts and screams
And the savvy ones enter my dreams

And then I'm thumbing my phone in the checkout line
I'm not thinking about death not thinking about time

It's okay

And now I'm walking through the hectic parking lot
Sunlit, was there anything that I forgot?
I see a couple of guys, they're eyeing my spot
In scarcity our peace just rots

And then I'm thumbing my phone before I start to drive
Taking up space without even trying
Don't be mad, man, we're all going to survive
Oh, but now you got me thinking about death and wasted time

It's okay
I'm okay

And the pictures always seem to lie
On the screen, in the street and in my mind
And I'm mad cause I just want to feel alive
I've had more than enough of this sticky shine
