[Intro, spoken] Alright— No panic, no drama, no doctors— Everyone breathe in… No, not you. [Verse 1] I’m perfectly fine, says the man in the bin Lost my house keys but I’ve broken back in I talk to my shadow, it owes me a tenner My life’s a mess but it’s nicely arranged I set off alarms by being awake I make bad decisions for goodness’ sake I’ve got skeletons dancing, they’re asking for rent My brain’s on strike but it still takes offence [Pre-Chorus] They say “calm down,” I say “define it” I tried meditation, my thoughts declined it Chorus I’m perfectly fine, don’t call anyone The doctor ran away so I must’ve won I’m perfectly fine, can’t you tell by my grin? It’s a cry for help if you listen it in [Post-Chorus] PER-FECT-LY FINE [shout] DEFINE “FINE” [Verse 2] I’ve got big plans, they fit in my sock Ambition’s alive but it’s missing a clock I read self-help but it read me instead It said “mate, lie down” then crawled out my head I keep it together with sticky-back tape My future’s a blur but it’s well-priced escape I’ve got confidence issues, they’re confident too They show up on time, I don’t know what to do [Pre-Chorus] I’m not confused, I’m creatively wrong I’ve been late on time my whole life long [Chorus] I’m perfectly fine, absolutely great I missed my own birthday, arrived early late I’m perfectly fine, if fine means “a state” Of mild confusion and screaming politely [Breakdown / Ska Drop, half-spoken, fast] Who’s in charge? Not me. Who’s responsible? He’s on lunch. Who made this mess? Collective effort. [Verse 3] I’ve got friends in my head, they don’t get along One says “give up,” one writes protest songs I lose every argument, even alone I tried being brave but I left it at home I follow my heart, it’s got no sense of direction Took a wrong turn, joined a pyramid scheme They say “read the room,” I brought the wrong glasses Now everything’s fine, just slightly on fire [Pre-Chorus, build it up] I’m not a problem, I’m proof of concept This is what happens when hope pays rent [Final Chorus, BIG / faster / messier] I’m perfectly fine, don’t write it down If this is a breakdown, I’m wearing the crown I’m perfectly fine, now join in the lie Shout it loud so we all feel better inside [Outro, spoken, fading chaos] I’m fine. He’s fine. We’re all fine. …Right? [horns keep playing too long]

Perfectly Fine
