Lyrics
Tonight
Tonight
Seven thirty sharp
Faces I don’t know
Fixing on a smile
Keep it all below
Planned this night for weeks
Told myself I’m fine
Then that heavy chest knocks me out of line
Sudden drop inside
The air is running thin
Heart is speeding up
Can’t feel my own skin
Can’t feel my skin
Vision blurs
Hands are numb
Not tonight
Where’s this from
Pressure’s rising
Am I coming undone
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
Riding out the strain
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
Feedback loop
Screaming through my brain
Trying to breathe
Hands against my knees
The walls are closing
Feeling the squeeze
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
Slipping from the room
No one sees me leave
Bathroom door clicks shut
Hands against the sink
Water running cold
Splashing on my face
The grip of fear won’t give me space
Counting every breath
Staring at the floor
One more minute
One more minute
Just a minute more
How long till it breaks
The calm is coming
I just have to wait
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
Riding out the strain
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
Feedback loop
Screaming through my brain
Trying to breathe
Hands against my knees
The walls are closing
Feeling the squeeze
I’ll be okay
Praying it will ease
The shaking starts to slow
The air is coming back
The mirror shows a face
Surviving the attack
The manic fading out
The heavy chest gives way
No one saw me break
No one sees me shake
I walked in with a smile
I’ll walk out the same way
I am okay
I am okay
Walking through the strain
I am okay
I am okay
Starting to breathe
Finding relief
I am okay
I am okay
I am okay
I am okay
Starting to breathe
I am okay
I am okay
No one sees me
I am okay
No one sees me breathe
I am okay
I am okay
I am okay
I am okay
