My name is Alex Okami. This is my new single, “Permanent Disease.” It’s a song about life-long ailments taking a hold of your mental and physical health to the point that it feels like your world is permanently over. As a sufferer of negative health conditions I needed an outlet to express how I was feeling about my situation.

“Permanent Disease” lyrics:
I’m in search for the truth
All throughout the obscene
I’ve been wandering halls
That keep leading to dreams
Staring up at the sky
Wondering when I will fall
Wiped the blood off my lips
Now I’m nothing at all
Now I’m nothing at all
Persist, persist through me
I am the one who can not speak
Persist, persist through me
I am the permanent disease
Felt the coldest embrace
From life’s withering arms
Took a leap off the ledge
And I swallowed the stars
