[Intro - Clean Guitar Strum Fades In] [Interlude - Drum Fill and Guitar Build] I’m not crazy, I’m just not you. You can pray to your gods — I’ll tell the truth. [Verse 1] How come when I share what I believe, They say I’m delusional, sick, or naïve? “Take some meds, to clear your head,” While they’re rolling on the floor talkin’ to Gods that were just men. They call it holy — I call it mislead, But I’m the one that they all fear or pity It’s not unbelievable, it’s not a scheme, I do sometimes sleepwalk but I am not in a dream I just experience shit and you won’t let yourself see in to what it means. [Chorus] You don’t know what it’s like to be me, To tell your truths and not to be let free. Every word I say gets twisted, like a cage wrapped around, And silence of your stares hits harder than sound. People shrug it off or show un-needed concern — And I'm standing on a burning bridge to get burned ‘Cause deep inside I know (you don't really care), — It’s not fair. (It's not fair)— It’s not fair. [Verse 2] I’m not from your cookie-cutter crowd, I won’t always fit in, I’m not that proud. You live robotic, same damn tone, But I'm not trying to be like you, I’d rather stand alone. I’m not evil, they’re not demons, It’s all perception, just humans trying to reason. You don’t have to get it, but don’t you dare, Look at me like I’m not there. [Chorus] You don’t know what it’s like to be me, To tell your truths and not to be let free. Every word I say gets twisted, like a cage wrapped around, And silence of your stares hits harder than sound. People shrug it off or show un-needed concern — And I'm standing on a burning bridge to get burned ‘Cause deep inside I know (you don't really care), — It’s not fair. [Verse 3] I’m probably on some list by now, ‘Cause I said all this shit out loud. I stayed quiet to dodge ridicule and the hate, But damn, that’s getting old to becoming fake. You can judge me, you can be insincere, But here I’ll stand even if I am insecure. One day you’ll see what’s always been there, And you’ll say it regretfully — “shit, I should've been aware.” [Guitar Solo - Melodic, bending phrases over chord progression] [Pre-Chorus - Half-Time Drums, Rising Vocals] Keep laughing, you can’t drown out an inner voice. The truth you mock, it’s all your choice, And I’m done trying to get you to understand There has been enough time written in the sand— [Chorus] You don’t know what it’s like to be me, To tell your truths and not to be let free. Every word I say gets twisted, like a cage wrapped around, And silence of your stares hits harder than sound. People shrug it off or show un-needed concern — And I'm standing on a burning bridge to get burned ‘Cause deep inside I know (you don't really care), — It’s not fair. [Outro - Slow Down, Spoken Over Feedback] So yeah…keep on with your ridicule. I’ll eventually have my place in the stars — And maybe then… you’ll finally care than existence can truly be ours—to share [Big Finish]
