Everything's Fine!

Lyrics

Verse 1
The world is burning, but the cocoa's great!
Scrolling I see the melting ice debate!
The news shows global warming unchecked, but hey, look—blue skies!
I'm on this ride eyes wide while this planet dies!

Pre-Chorus 1
They say that ignorance is bliss divine,
But something's screaming from between the lines!
I mask my feelings over the dread,
And see that civilization's hanging by a thread!

Chorus 1
Everything's FINE! Everything's fine!
We're laughing through this apocalypse divine!
Everything's FINE! We're doing great!
Just positive vibes while some tempt their fate!
We'll manifest our way through this decline,
'Cause toxic positivity tastes like wine!
Everything's perfectly, beautifully FINE!

Verse 2
The xenophobia grows with excited faces all aglow,
I'm hydrated, medicated this is what I know!
The system's breaking down, it's hard to self-care,
It's hard to breath through panic and the poisoned air!

Pre-Chorus 2
My therapist says "So, you're not wrong,"
While psychopathy rattles my every bone!
I'm grateful for problems, they say that's the key,
Practicing endurance for this catastrophe!

Chorus 2
Everything's FINE! Everything's fine!
We're playing on the deck of the Titanic line!
Everything's FINE! Can't look away!
There's nothing we can do but seize the day!
I'll journal through the horror, a terrible design,
My own mother says everything's aligned!
Everything's perfectly, wonderfully FINE!

Bridge
But what if... what if I could hold them both?
The terror AND beauty, a truthful oath—
I'll witness all the darkness without looking away,
I'll try choosing the courage to face another day!

Not toxic sunshine masking all the pain,
But clear-eyed hope that cries with the rain!
Acknowledging the fire doesn't mean I have to freeze,
I can grieve the world AND still feel its breeze!

Verse 3
So yes, the doom looms and systems fail the test,
But hopelessness isn't where my power's kept!
I'll name the horror, look it in the face,
Then choose my actions from logic's place!
The world needs witnesses who won't stay numb,
Who feel it ALL and still sense we'll overcome!
Not bypassing truth with magical gloss,
But holding space for grief AND truth's loss!

Final Pre-Chorus
I'm so worn from pretending that I'm not afraid,
Of masking through this crumbling parade!
But fear and truth can walk hand in hand combined,
Awake AND alive, that's how we can design!

Final Chorus
We're NOT fine! And that's okay!
We're holding truth and hope in this fray!
We're NOT fine! And we're still here!
Clear-eyed and present through all this fear!
Not spiritual bypass or denial's shine,
But conscious, courage walking the thin line!
We are beautifully, terribly, truly NOT FINE!
(But we're ALIVE!)

Outro
So here's to those who feel too much, too deep,
Who cannot buy the lies or fall asleep!
Your exhaust is so valid, your fear's so true,
And a choice to keep loving is revolutionary too!
This world's so heavy that your back might break,
But witness, grieve, and choose—what's not fake!
Everything's a mess, to not redefine,
But we can face it together, THAT can make us... fine!

THAT can make us fine... (That can make us fine...)
THAT can make us FINE!
