Everything's Fine

Berman Bailey Like the best of 80s Paul McCartney with the acidic lyricism of Lennon, King Triumph's music is the perfect combination of existential crisis and dance floor bangers. So basically, the best kind of music. Cannot recommend highly enough. Favorite track: culture got to me.

the first day after 02:46
lyrics

The first day after The last one's disaster I shaved my head Wished I was dead So much for happy endings The next month killed me Got fat with dirt weed I lost direction Did I ever have one? So much for motivation Did you ever get so low that you couldn't go down? Or get so high that you set yourself back for years? Did you ever get so low that you couldn't go down? Or get so high that you burst into tears? I'm wasting my time Getting high, drinking wine I'm losing my mind Thinking that I am fine I got in trouble My ego's humbled They're staring at me Pointing and laughing Have you felt this way? Depressed and cliché? And absorbed in Your guilty whims? So much for self-esteem Did you ever get so low that you couldn't get up? Or get so high that you couldn't get off? Did you ever get so low that you don't give a fuck? Or get so high that everything's lost? Did you ever get so low that you couldn't go down? Or get so high that you set yourself back for years? Did you ever get so low that you couldn't go down? Or get so high that you burst into tears? I'm wasting more time Smoke more to get high I'm wasting my youth By denying the truth I'm wasting my time Getting drunk, getting high I'm losing my mind Thinking that I am fine The first day after The last one's disaster I shaved my head To begin again

Everything’s fine I’m okay with this life Not okay with This life Things were fine Things were okay once, right? I didn’t notice You’re over it Years went by You weren’t okay with our life Let go and left me Empty Everything’s fine Pain fades with enough time Pain fades without love Without love Things are just fine Set fire to my life It’s better without you I’m better without you Everything’s fine Don’t call and please don’t write You mean nothing to me We’re both free

“Save me” You pray For release From this pain “Help” Your refrain Agony Every breath Oh I see I've got you down on your hands and knees Doesn't matter when You'll give in my friend I will break you Just when I think that we're past the lies I take another look and I realize It's the pain you're in I will break you Taken away To a place Cold and gray Joy Lights up your face Once you accept My embrace Oh I see I've got you down on your hands and knees Doesn't matter when You'll give in my friend I will break you Just when I think that we're past the lies I take another look and I realize It's the pain you're in I will break you Just when you think we're through I will break you Now we can start anew Oh I see I've got you down on your hands and knees Doesn't matter when You'll give in my friend I will break you Just when I think that we're past the lies I take another look and I realize It's the pain you're in I will break you

the sophomore slump 03:31
lyrics
buy track
It isn’t just one thing you said There’s no specific line It’s a lot of little things that got That got bigger with time And we both said a lot of things we shouldn’t have At the start and the end Like “always, absolutely” and “Don’t ever speak to me again” Don’t you ever speak to me again “Some time apart” is what you said But I’m still sleeping in your bed And even though we still make love I can feel the slide into the sophomore slump So much for a quick getaway So much for easy goodbyes I guess we can pretend for the family What’s another holiday lie? So I’ll put on the cheerful face again The smile you know so well It’s the passive aggressive I give When inside I’m going through hell Don’t you know you’ve dragged me into hell? “Some time apart” that's what you said But I’m still sleeping in your bed And even though we still make love I can feel the slide into the sophomore slump Some time apart, you got your wish Even though you knew I couldn’t handle it And now that I’ve been dumped I’m living through the sophomore slump There isn’t one specific time There’s no stand out fight I’m just so sick of how you Always have to be right And it doesn’t really matter now Who lost or who won Cuz this is the last thing I’m gonna say You and I are finally done

culture got to me 03:55
lyrics

Culture got to me And I watch more TV Culture got to me And I bought into the dream Culture got to me And I ate all day Culture got to me And I want to get laid Culture got to me And I feel like I'm choking The ripcord on my ego's life vest is broken It won't inflate Gotta find a way to lose more weight Gotta fit into the United States We're all obese, we're all obese Like pork at the trough Gotta find a way to stay in touch More is never enough We're dying thin, we're dying thin Just trying to fit in Culture got to me I bought your get rich quick plan Culture got to me Lost before I began Culture got to me And I'm plugged in Wireless everything, they're omnipresent It's a prison (I believe the hype) I clicked on all the likes cuz I want someone to notice I hope my memes go viral or why else would I post 'em? Snapping pictures of my food hoping to get Insta-famous I just want to be noticed but not come off like I'm shameless I put a special frame around my face to show I care I won't give time or money but you're in my thoughts and prayers (I believe the hype) Get my news on the social from people I don’t know I believe every word cuz that’s what I’ve been told I don’t think for myself but don’t stifle my free speech I just parrot what I’m told but it’s you who are the sheep I wonder why I’m angry, wonder where the good days went So I’ll stare at my phone and just confirm my biases Gotta find a way to lose more weight Gotta fit into the United States We're all obese, we're all obese Like pork at the trough Gotta find a way to stay in touch More is never enough We're dying thin, we're dying thin Just trying to fit in Gotta find a way to lose more weight Gotta fit into the United States We're all obese, we're all obese Like pork at the trough Gotta find a way to stay in touch More is never enough We're dying thin, we're dying thin Just trying to fit in

Just one more one more Accepted excuse Just one more time I Question the truth Just one more moment I swallow the pain Just one more reason To do it again Is there something more? What am I still here for? Just one more thing for me to sacrifice If I want to Want to stay right by your side You’re not willing to compromise oh whoa oh You love To take it out on me But if you get your way We both can be happy Oh baby Life Ain’t what it used to be The older that I get The more I start to see Oh darlin’ I need something more What am I still here for? Just one more thing for me to sacrifice If I want to Want to stay right by your side You’re not willing to compromise oh whoa oh Just one more thing for me to realize If I want to Break free and escape your lies Sick of living by gaslight oh whoa oh You hurt Me with your selfish ways I get what I deserve At least that’s what you say Oh baby Lies Are just one part of you But without them how can I Know when you tell the truth? Oh darlin’ I don’t believe you anymore What am I still here for? Just one more thing for me to sacrifice If I want to Want to stay right by your side You’re not willing to compromise oh whoa oh Just one more thing for me to realize If I want to Break free and escape your lies Sick of living by gaslight oh whoa oh Just one more thing for me to sacrifice If I want to Want to stay right by your side You’re not willing to compromise oh whoa oh Just one more thing for me to realize If I want to Break free and escape your lies Sick of living by gaslight oh whoa oh

good memories past 03:36

Soft now like the petal of a rose I drop words from my thoughts into prose The click of the keyboard is the only noise And these words that I type fall like death from above I’ll never see you again I’m severing all ties I thought you were my friend But I’m sick of all the lies When I try to leave All the good memories past Come flooding back And I stay Can’t spin myself Out of your Your gravity You’ve caught me in Still now like a last breath Each moment brings one closer to death And I still haven’t told you what I need to say I just keep hoping it will be okay I’ll never see you again I’m severing all ties I thought you were my friend But I’m sick of all the lies When I try to leave All the good memories past Come flooding back And I stay Can’t spin myself Out of your Your gravity You’ve caught me in

safe&uncomfortable 05:27
lyrics
buy track
Twisting my hands like I’m twisting my hair like I’m twisting my body Twisting my mind cuz I can’t stop the thoughts that set off my anxiety Safe in this moment I’m safe in my house am I safe in my head? Don’t act no don’t speak no don’t fall out of line am I better off dead? Find comfort in routine find comfort in normal find comfort in you But comfort is fleeting I can’t stop this feeling no matter what I do Can’t make a decision can’t stop our division we're falling apart Too many choices and too many voices I don’t know where to start I’m safe and uncomfortable with you Perpetuate the lie that everything’s fine I’m used to our life of deceit I want to break away But I can hardly breathe Go over my plan I go over escape I’m convinced that I’m ready But I can’t pull the trigger I can’t find a way it’s just too fucking scary I lie to myself and I lie to my friends I say everything’s fine They don’t want to know and I don’t want to tell them I’m dying inside Can’t live up to your standards live up to my own I’m a failure it’s true But I don’t want to give you yet another reason to play me the fool Twisting my hands like I’m twisting my face like I’m twisting my heart Twisting myself into somebody else just to play the part I’m safe and uncomfortable with you Perpetuate the lie that everything’s fine I’m used to our life of deceit I want to break away But I can hardly breathe Safe and uncomfortable Our demise It took me so long To realize Just what we had become Strangers that share a home Share a lie And keep the truth From the daylight But now I see See the faults with my ways The way I justified those hurt filled days The way I put the guilt on myself The way that I should not have felt But now I've caught a glimpse of the truth You keep up your spin, but it's no use You've given yourself away And there's nothing that you can say That would change the things that you've done Apologies too late, you’ve become All the things I hate in myself And you’re dragging us both through hell You’re all the things I hate in myself And now I’m stuck in this personal hell

one line 03:38
lyrics

Pick a side, raise your fist Don’t think, just blindly go along with it Pick your side but leave me out So tired of listening to you scream and shout You choose your side And I chose mine It all comes down to just one line Just one line Between you and me Divided by our hypocrisy Pick a side, get your gun Is this really what we’ve become? Or is it what we always were? Humanity has no future Pick a side, have your fun I don’t care, just let them come

You had a change of heart And it tore me apart But it started something new And I'm better without you You had a change of heart I’m free, I’m finally free For the first time I believe That everything’s fine Everything’s fine

about

"Everything's Fine" is both kingtriumph's first album and the culmination of more than a decade of work.

Each song on the album started life sometime between 2003 and 2008. Some of them made it on the album relatively unchanged from their earlier iterations. Others have undergone more serious updates, sometimes being almost entirely reimagined.

The end result is what you hear here, songs written too late even for their era and released even later.

So enjoy it for what it is. A cry of impotent middle age rage. A drop of angst in the ocean of anxiety all around us. A small catharsis. A period at the end of the sentence. A graduation. The encapsulation of an era.
