Where I Said I Was Fine

Nialo Frask

I smiled too fast

Said I was fine

Water in my chest

Salt on my tongue

I kept my face still

Kept it all neat

But I was sinking

One word at a time

You asked me once

I said, "I'm good"

My hands were shaking

You never knew

I was fine

I was fine

While I ran out of air

I was fine

I was fine

I just couldn't say it clear

The room looked soft

The glass looked clean

But my heartbeat

Was a heavy machine

I laughed on cue

I played the part

Made a quiet lie

Look like a heart

You asked me once

I said, "I'm good"

My chest was turning

Into open blue

I was fine

I was fine

While I ran out of air

I was fine

I was fine

I just couldn't say it clear

If I had cried

Would you have stayed?

If I had reached

Would you have seen me?

I held my breath

Till it hurt to speak

Now all that I can tell you is

I was fine

I was fine

While I ran out of air

I was fine

I was fine

I just couldn't say it clear

I was fine

I was fine

And I meant that lie for years

    Air Left Underwater

    Nialo Frask

    Lyric

"For those whose breath quietly grows shallow in everyday life"
The night you bent too far for a lover
The morning you could not say you had reached your limit at work
The silence of carrying your family's expectations
Without anyone noticing, the oxygen in your heart begins to fade
This first album captures the faint breath still left deep in the chest, through the pressure of the deep sea and low, swaying R&B
It does not end with sinking
It is a story of slowly rising toward the distant light on the surface
A sound for realizing, at the bottom of the dark, that you are still alive
A full-force work of "deep-sea soul" for those quietly carrying their limits
