They couldn't wrap it up in a box

Or place a pretty bow on top

I just never fit in that nutshell

I just slowed down when the sign said stop

But your nutshell's cracked and your reasoning lacks

And your judgement serves to divide me

And your well intent is efforts not well spent

And your questions suicide me

No, I'm not alright so stop guessing

No, I'm not alright so stop pressing

No, I'm not alright so stop asking

I don't want to talk it out

And I don't want to fight

I'm not alright

I've never started from here before

I never slammed such an open door

I never wanted to hurt those around me

But I never wanted anything more

Now these desperate times translate to desperate lines

And the desperation fills me

And I'm swerving to stay inside these lines I've made

Before the desperation kills me

No, I'm not alright so stop guessing

No, I'm not alright so stop pressing

No, I'm not alright so stop asking

I don't want to talk it out

And I don't want to fight

I'm not alright

But your nutshell's cracked and your reasoning lacks

And your judgement serves to divide me

And your well intent is efforts not well spent

And your questions suicide me

No, I'm not alright so stop guessing

No, I'm not alright so stop pressing

No, I'm not alright so stop asking

I don't want to talk it out

And I don't want to fight

I'm not alright

It's awfully quiet 'round here these days

No one's got anything left to say

They tried to fit it all in a nutshell

They tried to wish it all away
