We say I'm fine
Like a weather reporter says
It's sunny and 70 out
While clearly seen behind her
A tornado destroys homes
The sky is darker than charcoal
And flooding streets gulp at his knees
We say I'm fine
Like a firefighter says she feels no pain
As she crawls out of a burning building
With smoke pumping through her veins
and ash filling her lungs
We say I'm fine
Like a soldier tells his comrade
Everything will be alright
While they both watch
Him bleed out
Through a whole in his stomach the size of a fist
Fine is the easiest lie
And the thinnest disguise
