[Intro: Menacing circus organ solo, slow tempo, eerie accordion melody, heavy breathing] [Spoken: Whispered, close to mic, deceptively sweet] Hey! Thanks for checking in. I’m doing great. So great. Actually… [Verse 1: Sudden heavy industrial drums, chugging guitars, rhythm kicks in, theatrical delivery] Everythings Everythings fine! EVERYTHINGS EVERYTHINGS FINE!!! [Verse 2: Staccato accordion and bass, creeping avant-garde metal, vocal tone shifts to suspicious] If I say it loud enough It has to be true… Doesn’t it? If I say it one more time Will you believe me too? [Verse 3: Marching beat, heavy syncopated riffs, operatic vocal flourishes] I always wanted to be like this Calm, collected, slightly numb Trapped in a box with good intentions Killing time until I’m done. [Pre-Chorus: Tempo accelerates, playful but dissonant circus melody, frantic energy] I’ve got coping skills And a pleasant, well-worn mask I rehearsed these answers In case somebody asks [Spoken Interlude: Music cuts to a single sustained organ note, nervous acting] Are you sure you’re okay? (Ха-ха) yeah… I’m fine. [Chorus: Full band explosion, aggressive guitars, manic screaming and clean vocals, double-time drums] Everythings Everythings fine EVERYTHINGS EVERYTHINGS FINE! CAN’T YOU TELL I’M FINE!? (Да, я в порядке!) [Breakdown: Music drops to eerie carnival waltz, grotesque bass line, vocals sound unhinged and distinct] Um… you don’t seem fine. [Verse 4: Manic patter-song style, building speed, guitar feedback swells] (Ха-ха-ха-ха!) No really, I’m fine See this 😄? That means you can laugh And blow this off slowly See, I made a joke To lighten the mood… for you So you don’t have to sit With something uncomfortably true [Bridge: Heavy rhythmic chugging, angry spoken word building to a growl, industrial noise] I write lol defensively So you don’t get scared I soften the truth When I accidentally overshare If I stop joking It might get real And I don’t have time To explain how I feel [Build Up: Snare roll crescendo, rising siren-like synth, desperate shouting] So let’s keep it light Let’s keep it brief I’m not, not okay I’m just so very fine this week! [Climax: Chaos, blast beats, guttural growls vs operatic highs, absolute sonic destruction] Are you okay? YEAH! Are you sure? ABSOLUTELY! You don’t seem... (Заткнись!) HAHAHA NO REALLY… Everythings Everythings fine Sometimes I wanna die EVERYTHINGS! EVERYTHINGS FINE! Did I convince you this time? [Outro: Sudden shift to slow, mournful accordion, cabaret style, exhausted vocals] Don’t worry about me I’ve got it handled I’ve mastered the art Of playing my part. [Spoken: Dry, void of emotion] So… how have I been? [Ending: Distorted guitar screech cuts off abruptly] So fucking fine… [Silence] [Spoken: Childlike whisper] (Ха-ха) I’m just kidding... I’m just kidding.
