Life is Just Okay
A tree collapsed outside today
There was no one there to plant one in it's place
It's strange but life is just okay
I'll dream tonight in black and white and grey
You know
I'm not in love with you or me
I don't dream of home
Or things that I'll know
Before tomorrow
I'm not in love with you or me
I'm not upset
And I can't pretend to be
I know you're trying to make it clear
But I've never seen what people see out here
I hate the floor that you revere
Don't keep me here, because home's my biggest fear
You know
I'm not in love with you or me
I don't dream of home
Or things that I'll know
Before tomorrow
I'm not in love with you or me
I'm not upset
And I can't pretend to be
I see you
Clutching the pearls you hold dear
It's never all been quite so clear
Just watching you meekly appear before the judges
Acting like you don't know shit
How could you be so convinced
That there's not a shred of guilt
Within yourself
You knew that this day would arrive
The false martyrdom governing your life
Would be called underneath the harsh light
And we would see
That's who you are, that's what you do
You're just what you seem
You're just a wreck and you don't need help
For your condition
Because that's who you are, that's what you do
You're nothing like me
And even now, it's clear to the crowd
This is how you'll be
There was no one there to plant one in it's place
It's strange but life is just okay
I'll dream tonight in black and white and grey
You know
I'm not in love with you or me
I don't dream of home
Or things that I'll know
Before tomorrow
I'm not in love with you or me
I'm not upset
And I can't pretend to be
I know you're trying to make it clear
But I've never seen what people see out here
I hate the floor that you revere
Don't keep me here, because home's my biggest fear
You know
I'm not in love with you or me
I don't dream of home
Or things that I'll know
Before tomorrow
I'm not in love with you or me
I'm not upset
And I can't pretend to be
I see you
Clutching the pearls you hold dear
It's never all been quite so clear
Just watching you meekly appear before the judges
Acting like you don't know shit
How could you be so convinced
That there's not a shred of guilt
Within yourself
You knew that this day would arrive
The false martyrdom governing your life
Would be called underneath the harsh light
And we would see
That's who you are, that's what you do
You're just what you seem
You're just a wreck and you don't need help
For your condition
Because that's who you are, that's what you do
You're nothing like me
And even now, it's clear to the crowd
This is how you'll be
