Are You Really Okay

A high-energy alternative rock and post-hardcore track featuring a blend of melodic singing and aggressive screamed vocals, The song opens with a clean, reverberated electric guitar melody before transitioning into a heavy, distorted wall of sound with driving drums and a prominent bassline, The tempo is approximately 160 BPM in a 4/4 time signature, The vocal performance is dynamic, shifting from vulnerable, breathy verses to powerful, belted choruses and intense, distorted screams during the bridge, Production is polished with modern rock compression, layered vocal harmonies, and a wide stereo field for the guitars, The chord progression follows a minor-key emotional arc, utilizing power chords for the heavy sections and arpeggiated clean tones for the atmospheric moments

**[Intro ]

*(Mumbled, tired, like talking to a mirror)*  
High school ghost... creeping back in the haze...  
Am I still here...? Or just bleeding slow...?

**[Verse 1 ]
Woke up numb again, brain fog thicker than the smoke  
Purple haze in my lungs, but the pain still chokes  
Told the mirror "I'm straight," chipped polish hiding shakes  
But the shadows in my head keep replaying old mistakes  
 voices echoes faint, unresolved like open wounds  
Words I never said now carve deeper in the room  
Cannabis can't mute it, just turns the volume low  
Makes the dark feel cozy, makes the hurt feel like home  
Wilted ink on my wrist, petals falling one by one  
High school hell on repeat, cycle never done  
I'm a ghost girl, chasing feelings I can't name  
Begging the reflection not to play this game

[Pre-Chorus ]
I feel it crawling under skin, the sickness never leaves  
Disconnected from the me I used to believe  
Raised in darkness, thought I'd outrun the wave  
But depression's like a knife—always finds its way

[Verse 2]
Bathroom glow too harsh, sink cold like empty promises  
Scars map every time I lost the plot in this abyss  
Jackie's breathing steady, doesn't know I'm unraveling thread  
Katie's "you good?" unread, another lie I fed  
Mom's shadow on her face pulls me down twice as far  
Carrying ghosts while my own veins turn to tar  
The haze whispers "one more," "just to feel something real"  
But real turns to regret, regret turns to steel  
Steel in my thoughts, cutting lines I can't erase  
High school kid in grown skin, same broken place

**[Pre-Chorus - Intensified, edge of scream]**  
I feel it bleeding through, the poison in my veins  
Clinical storm crashing, drowning out the gains  
Thought I buried it deep, thought the haze would heal  
But the cycle spins eternal—here's the same old deal

[Chorus ]
Are you really okay?  
Are you really okay?  
Faded crimson in the mirror, staring back like high school days  
Telling myself I'm fine, but the edge is calling my name  
Please don't hurt yourself again  
Please don't hurt yourself again  
(Yeah-yeah... are you really okay?)  
Please don't cut deeper tonight  
Please don't bleed out the fight  
I'm begging me to stay alive  
Are you really okay?
[Bridge ]
*(Soft, breaking, almost spoken)*  
I bleed myself dry every night just to feel alive  
Nothing I write or smoke can make the hurt subside  
Wilted flower on my skin, dying petal by petal slow  
I'm a ghost chasing smoke, nowhere left to go  
So if the darkness wins tonight...  
If the edge takes the fight...  
At least the mirror knows:  
I'm not alright...

[Breakdown]
DON'T BLEED OUT AGAIN!  
DON'T CUT DEEPER IN THE HAZE!  
I FEEL THE EDGE, I FEEL THE BLAZE!  
HIGH SCHOOL HELL REPLAYING EVERY DAY!  
STOP LYING TO YOUR VEINS!  
STOP DROWNING IN THE PAIN!  
YOU'RE BEGGING YOU TO HOLD ON—  
DON'T FADE AWAY!  
ARE YOU REALLY OKAY?!  
(NO... FUCK NO... NO!)

[Final Chorus]
Are you really okay?  
Are you really okay?  
Faded crimson drying slow, but the call still stays  
High school days keep pulling, dragging me away  
Please don't hurt yourself again  
Please don't hurt yourself again  
(Yeah-yeah... are you really okay?)  
Please don't cut deeper tonight  
Please don't bleed out the fight  
I'm begging me... stay alive...  
Are you really okay?  
*(Fading mumbles: Not yet... still bleeding... still here...)*

[Outro ]
*(Overlapping whispers, detached)*  
Are you really okay...?  
Please don't hurt yourself again...  
High school never ends... haze never lifts...  
I'm still bleeding... still breathing...  
*(Razor clatter metaphor into sink, then pure silence fade)*
