I'm Fine - Ryan Oakes

Time is flying, I’d be lying if I said it’s fine

But when I turn the pages I’ve been aging like I’m wine

Off to the races, different places shaping my design

They said I need to stop, I dropped the baggage and blew through the signs

Afraid that I’m not living I might work myself to death

But if I stop the work the reaper’s hands around my neck

Tried to take a long shot, I ain’t stupid, it’s a stretch

Never tried to draw me, now everybody lookin' sketch

Yeah, well I guess that’s how it goes

I walk a road full of ghosts

And broken dreams and the bones

Keep high, I’ll land as I go

It’s getting thicker and cold

Shit, I just hope that I can find the way home

I wish that I could just rewind

Let it go and turn back time

And leave all of the stress behind

I just wanna run away

Don’t wanna go another day

Where I’m lying to myself

I’m fine

I’m telling myself all the time

Ignoring all the warning signs

I can feel it in my chest

Now I’m choking on my breath

I’ll keep lying to myself

I’m fine

My family across the country, I

Got a girl but where I’m at it’s 6 and where she at it’s 9

Distance pushed the love that’s been existent to a distant time

I tried to get a jump in but ballistics been resistant

Fine, I’ll fight another year, while I’m wiping all these tears

In a place where I don’t think that I’ll survive another here

I’ve been blacking out on weekends hoping I can smother fear

Under the weather, funny how it’s just an endless summer here

I wish that I could just rewind

Let it go and turn back time

And leave all of the stress behind

I just wanna run away

Don’t wanna go another day

Where I’m lying to myself

I’m fine

I’m telling myself all the time

Ignoring all the warning signs

I can feel it in my chest

Now I’m choking on my breath

I’ll keep lying to myself

I’m fine

Please, never let me fade away

I may be far but don’t you ever stay away

I promise that I’ll never let our love decay

Just promise me I won’t disintegrate!

(Rewind)

Let it go and turn back time

And leave all of the stress behind

I just wanna run away

Don’t wanna go another day

Where I’m lying to myself

I’m fine

I’m telling myself all the time

Ignoring all the warning signs

I can feel it in my chest

Now I’m choking on my breath

I’ll keep lying to myself

I’m fine
