[Verse 1]

Repeating loop glamorized

Revealing proof, bat an eye

Discrete in truth, satirized

What was to you catalyzed

Bite down the guard to catch the metal

Tight jowls, it's oddly sentimental

Who found the scars, it's pressed the pedal

Can't touch the top, it's elemental

It loops back onto itself again and again

When it ends, every flower will bloom and pretend the drought wasn't that bad to begin with

But every petal wilted within

"It's okay to be broken and need some repairs"

I'm repeating it over and over

My health is deteriorating with everyone else

It's a matter of time 'fore I hang myself


[Chorus]

Okay, okay, okay

I'm okay, okay, okay

I'm not safe to surround, I'm radioactive

Erasing the ground, my escaping reactions

Okay, okay, okay

I'm not okay, okay, okay

I wear a mask for a face, it's been etched into bone

When it snaps off and fragments, the graphic erodes

It's okay


[Verse 2]

It's not uncommon for delusion when encased within the walls

But the jacket wasn't straight enough, it shattered when embraced between the falls

I can't tell you what I want, I can't tell you who I've been or what I've seen

I just hope to God you'll notice what I've mentioned in your dreams

I think my degrading stability is a cause for your concern

It's been grating working out the proper mentality to discern that

There's no acid in this water, it ain't caustic in your burns

"There's no evidence sulfuric acid was ever sporadically dispersed"

I've been lying to myself since before I can recall

There's a shell I've hidden in when it's been vital my emotions stay dulled

I'm successfully manipulated me, defeating my whole goal

I'm the opposition, I'm a fuckin' joke


[Chorus]

Okay, okay, okay

I'm okay, okay, okay

I'm not safe to surround, I'm radioactive

Erasing the ground, my escaping reactions

Okay, okay, okay

I'm not okay, okay, okay

I wear a mask for a face, it's been etched into bone

When it snaps off and fragments, the graphic erodes


[Outro]

Repeating loop glamorized

Revealing proof, bat an eye

Discrete in truth, satirized

What was to you catalyzed

Bite down the guard to catch the metal

Tight jowls, it's oddly sentimental

Who found the scars, it's pressed the pedal

Can't touch the top, it's elemental
