It's Alright Kevin (Manhood 2023)
Well that's what I was always led to believe anyway
What?
I know, OK, OK, alright
Well this is what I really think
I tried so hard to live a lie
Pretending I was some tough guy
But now I've had enough
I can't, I can't live that way no more, now
Were you feeling always feeling edgy? Yeah
Afraid the mask would slip and they'd see?
I carried so much weight on me
I never truly was myself
Just an amalgam off the shelf
A total acting role then
Yes, I could have won an Oscar, yes I could
And did you ever get found out?
All the time
Did that compound your sense of doubt?
Totally. It was so hard not being real
Let me tell you how for years I was waking up in fear
Seemed like everything I said, seemed all wrong
What would they think of me, no personality?
A no one from the start
It's alright, it's alright Kevin
You're OK, you've just been missing
You've been running for so long
It can't go on no more
It's alright, it's alright Kevin
Just go slow, and don't be rushing
I don't think that I can stand this pretense anymore
Be true to yourself
Well that's what they said
But no one ever tells you how!
What is it you want to say?
I've tried so hard to be a man
And now I don't care if I can
My life has been just one long fight
Let me tell you how how with ease
You can break from your disease
Abandon all old thoughts and start afresh
Embrace some new ideas, and live a life of ease
But first just hear me say
It's alright, it's alright Kevin (uhh)
You're OK, you've just been missing (uhh)
You've been running for so long
It can't go on no more
It's alright, it's alright Kevin (uhh)
Just go slow, and don't be rushing (uhh)
I don't think that I can stand this loneliness no more (uh-uh-uh-uh-uhh)
And now, and now, I know (uhh-uhhh)
There's nowhere to go (uhh-uhhh)
And I'm so glad you're saying it
It's alright, it's alright Kevin (uhh)
You're OK, you've just been missing (uhh)
You've been running for so long
It can't go on no more
It's alright, it's alright Kevin (uhh)
Just go slow, and don't be rushing (uh)
I don't think that I can stand this loneliness no more
I thought that, that's the way my life would be
I, I thought I'm always going to be lonely, ah
No-o-o, but you've got to see, yeah
What?
I know, OK, OK, alright
Well this is what I really think
I tried so hard to live a lie
Pretending I was some tough guy
But now I've had enough
I can't, I can't live that way no more, now
