Lyrics
[Verse 1]: Feels like I’m in another universe, Asking questions ‘cause I’m feeling cursed. There’s not a day when my throat doesn’t burn. Why does this ache always seem to return?

[Chorus]: I’m weary, I’m ill, And I blame it on the art of getting by. I look in the mirror, And I wonder if I’ll ever be satisfied. Wouldn’t go as far as saying that I’m traumatized, But truth be told, I’m not alright. Truth be told, I’m not alright.

[Verse 2]: Talk to myself away from watchful eyes, Ego black and blue as I fear demise. I’m not armed to the teeth anymore, Doesn’t mean I’m one to ignore.

[Chorus]: I’m weary, I’m ill, And I blame it on the art of getting by. I look in the mirror, And I wonder if I’ll ever be satisfied. Wouldn’t go as far as saying that I’m traumatized, But truth be told, I’m not alright. Truth be told, I’m not alright.

[Bridge]: I’ll spit blood in this bitter flight, Unlike that summer when my hopes ran high. So when you ask if I’m doing okay, It shouldn’t shock you when I say…

[Chorus]: I’m weary, I’m ill, And I blame it on the art of getting by. I look in the mirror, And I wonder if I’ll ever be satisfied. Wouldn’t go as far as saying that I’m traumatized, But truth be told, I’m not alright. Truth be told, I’m not alright.
