That's Okay
That’s Okay

I feel the silence
Beating on me like a drum….
And you waste me away
Until all that I can feel is numb.
And that’s okay.
That’s okay.
If I’m numb, then I can’t feel anyway.
She rears her head,
And I welcome her to my embrace.
Maybe you will come around,
But by then, it’ll be too late.
And that’s okay.
That’s okay.
If you’re late, then I can’t feel anyway.
So that’s okay.
But maybe—
Maybe
Someday I will learn
To believe.
Maybe I will learn
To believe….
I feel like fighting.
I was never one for going down.
I put my fists up.
You can take my throne, but you can’t take my crown.
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
You’re already halfway there, anyway.
And I feel like dying.
Humanity is steadily disappointing me.
I saw your goodness,
Until you fucking shit on me.
But that’s okay.
That’s okay.
I never liked you, anyway.
Well, maybe—
Maybe
Someday I will learn
To believe.
Maybe I will learn
To believe….
Hey,
As you see me vanishing,
I hope you know.
You gave me hope,
Until you took it away…
But that’s okay.
That’s okay.
I should’ve known you’d do that, anyway.
So that’s okay.
