I'm Not Alright (Bonus Track) Songtext
von Pattern‐Seeking Animals

They couldn′t wrap it up in a box
Or place a pretty bow on top
I just never fit in that nutshell
I just slowed down when the sign said stop

But your nutshell's cracked and your reasoning lacks
And your judgement serves to divide me
And your well intent is effort not well-spent
And your questions suicide me

No, I′m not alright so stop guessing
No, I'm not alright so stop pressing
No, I'm not alright so stop asking
I don′t wanna talk it out and I don′t wanna fight
I'm not alright

I never started from here before
I never slammed such an open door
I never wanted to hurt those around me
But I never wanted anything more


Now these desperate times
Translate to desperate lines
And the desperation fills me
And I′m swerving to stay
Inside these lines I've made
Before the desperation kills me

No, I′m not alright so stop guessing
No, I'm not alright so stop pressing
No, I′m not alright so stop asking
I don't wanna talk it out and I don't wanna fight
I′m not alright

But your nutshell′s cracked and your reasoning lacks
And your judgement serves to divide me
And your message sent is effort not well-spent
And your questions suicide me

No, I'm not alright so stop guessing
No, I′m not alright so stop pressing
No, I'm not alright so stop asking
I don′t wanna talk it out and I don't wanna fight

It′s awfully quiet 'round here these days
No one's got anything left to say
They tried to fit it all in a nutshell
They tried to wish it all away
