about

A song charting the deterioration of mental health based on psychiatrist Eric Berne’s Ok - Not Ok Matrix, and the value of sharing with other people when life feels too hard to take on your own.

lyrics

Out of the sky, it came to ground
Nothing but stairs
I’m going lower, step prevention though it was not fair
Rubbish the chance, trying to make, try to be clear
Not matter what I say, today I'm really not Ok

Just like we used to be, a problem there to share it
A mooted conversation rooted threats will bare it

Nothing to see, nothing to do, broken apart
Sleep alone is not a cure I know it in my heart
Open my mouth, for something to say
Strange little sound, I'm trying hard my friend, today I’m really not Ok

Just like we used to be, a problem there to share it
A mooted conversation rooted threats will bare it

Taking no pleasure in things I do
Is a symptom I'm working through
So much harder if it wasn't for you
And the fat that we sit and chew
