Nothingness Lyrics by Okay Alright

starting today we don’t have to pretend

2022

Well, I miss my dog and I miss old friends
I miss loving as a lens
My thoughts were prettier back then
Though, I cannot be upset

The colors mix when I squint
A palette more wholly vibrant
Headlights on
A distant wind call for light recovering

Mirrors, mud puddles, and my upturned face inside a spoon
I'll learn to love me soon
O, that intangible truth

The way that light disappears
Within light, I dissolve into a sunrise
Feeling invisible, so beautiful washed white

Pretty girl on the train who will never know my name
But that's okay, because it's wonderful
Wе ever shared thе same space

A warmly understood embrace
Even just for today
Or an hour, or five minutes
Of shyly looking away

This tired plotline, it starts to decline
I'm in a slow dive of sweeping moonlight
But there's one thread that keeps me grounded
When I feel dead, and that's you

Isolation, dissociation
It's a messy combination
I've been static in my stasis
A depressing conversation

But when my mind's in a bad place
You texted me a smiley face
Reminding me that it's okay not to be okay

Overshare to the nice cashier
Who's bagging lemon scones at Trader Joe's
And oddly, for a second, we both feel less alone

And why is it that we exist?
Is it to make this place better than it is?
A memory's lament for all the life that you have lived

In old books hear the Paris rain
Where everybody knows your name
I hope you see that everything is just as beautiful as it seems

Yeah, this song is really about nothing at all
Or I should say, the nothingness of it all

This tired plotline, it needed new life
Open the window to morning sunlight
Dust dancing before my eyes
You were a daydream, you were a lifeline

But this song is really about nothing at all
Or I should say, the nothingness of it all
Yeah, this song is really about nothing at all
Or I should say, the nothingness of it all
And the world is so very small
So very small, so very small, so very small, so, so very small
Yeah, the world is so very small, so small, so small, so small, so small, so small, so very small
