Hot Pink Paralysis

I’m not fine
I’m just happy to be alive
In this strange new
I’m not fine
I’m just happy to be alive in this strange new world

Hello
Where have you been all my life
I’ve been facing the eye of the storm
A hot pink in the middle of the summer makes everything seem warmer than before
I’d let it build up on the inside
The words they get caught in my throat
Had me dressed up, messed up, now I know

That I’m not fine
I’m just happy to be alive
In this strange new
I’m not fine
I’m just happy to be alive in this strange new

Boys don’t cry and don’t ask why
These are the dreams they would have us believe
But now real life has me paralysed
We’re all fragile and scared out of our minds

And now
I see it around me
It scares me, it’s clearer than ever before
The red haze after stepping out the bar is a force set to full self destruct from the start
Now this condemnation comes in daily conversion
They’re all drops in the ocean
Turning tides of emotion into
Patriarchal tendencies and 911 emergencies
Now all I can think about is the fact that really

I’m not fine
I’m just happy to be alive
In this strange new
I’m not fine
I’m just happy to be alive in this strange new

Boys don’t cry and don’t ask why
These are the dreams they would have us believe
But now real life has me paralysed
We’re all fragile and scared out of our minds

It’s a long road back to morality
When you’ve learned about sex from a TV screen

Boys don’t cry and don’t ask why
These are the dreams they would have us believe
But now real life has me paralysed
