One Day I’ll Be Ok

[Intro]
Can't eat, can't sleep
Can't breathe, can't speak
Can't see, can't be

[Verse 1]
I haven't been asleep for three days
Red-eyed and tired, and each waking moment's a replay
But I'll be okay, I'm gonna be okay
One day, the sea'll change, one day, I'll feel great
Maybe I'm just shaken but I kinda feel like my whole life was taken
My mind is breaking, land is quaking, back is aching
I wanna backtrack this path I've taken
The slacker's lazy, lackadaisical lack
Of latent gain favouring games in my safe space
Happy to stay in my lane just to save face
That's me, afraid of the shame and the pain of the unknown
I'll save changing my ways for another day
No wonder I haven't grown, never impressed
My ship's sailing away, never done my best
Nevertheless, I'm breaking the waves

[Pre-Chorus]
One day, I'll be okay
Just give me time and give me space
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay
Just give me time and give me space
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay

[Chorus]
When did I become this monster?
I didn't even see
When did I become this shadow
Of the things I used to be?
When did I become this shipwrecked soul?
I'm still lost at sea
When will I be rescued from this hole
And finally find me?

[Post-Chorus]
But I'll be okay
I'm going to be okay
One day, the sea'll change
One day, I'll feel great

[Verse 2]
When we peep beneath the surface
Then we see the deeper purpose
Though my knees are weak, I'm nervous
I'm never gonna let it keep me down 'cause I'm determined
To weather any storm, a devil can present in many forms
Money falls and minds change, opinion can be bought
A penny for your thoughts, a pound for your prayers
It isn't the cellar door that's keeping you downstairs
It isn't a metaphor, we're breathing the foul air
We've met it before whenever people have held breath
And bitten the tongue that's just to be living in comfort
It'll come back to bite you right in the bum, look
I'm but an Umbra, another apparition, listen, I'm not a number
I'm a prisoner wishing the vision of visitors visiting us is legitimate
And yet it isn't, I'm giving up, I'm giving up

[Pre-Chorus]
One day, I'll be okay
Just give me time and give me space
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay
Just give me time and give me space
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay

[Chorus]
When did I become this monster?
I didn't even see
When did I become this shadow
Of the things I used to be?
When did stop being human?
When did I lose my being?
When did I slip between the cracks
To the comforting gloom, unseen?

[Post-Chorus]
But I'll be okay
I'm going to be okay
One day, the sea'll change
One day, I'll feel great

[Verse 3]
I couldn't have been any better
I couldn't have done any more
I should have just written a letter
And let it wash up on the shore
I couldn't have been any stronger
I couldn't have kept up my chin
Couldn't have done it any longer
I wouldn't know where to begin
I haven't been asleep for three days
Red-eyed and tired, and each waking moment's a replay
But I'll be okay, I'm gonna be okay
One day, the sea'll change
One day, I'll feel great

[Pre-Chorus]
One day, I'll be okay
Just give me time and give me space
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay
Just give me time and give me space
One day, I'll be okay
One day, I'll be okay

[Chorus]
When did I become this monster?
I didn't even see
When did I become this shadow
Of the things I used to be?
When did become the wintrous vestige
Left of a once fresh spring?
When did I become a whisper
Of the song I used to sing?

[Post-Chorus]
But I'll be okay
I'm going to be okay
One day, the sea'll change
One day, I'll feel great
