Why Be Normal?

V4.5

[verse 1] Mirror cracked, I talk to her twin — She smiles like she’s always known the end Whispers curl like smoke in my head, Counting spiders instead of sheep in bed I laughed too loud, they watched too long Said, “You’ve been off, something feels wrong” But I wear this fracture like a crown Isn’t it lovely to never come down? [chorus] Why be normal, when the static sings? Why chase calm in a storm of wings? My shadow dances when I scream — I don’t want peace, I want the dream Why be normal, when I’m so divine? Breaking rules one breath at a time Don’t call it madness, call it design Why be normal, when I’m losing my mind? [verse 2] Eyes in the wallpaper blink in time To the beat of a heart that’s no longer mine Floors melt into oceans of glass And I walk through memories I never had They try to hush me, stitch my grin But silence is where the wild begins If I’m falling, it feels like flight Sanity’s just fear wrapped in light [chorus] Why be normal, when the static sings? Why chase calm in a storm of wings? My shadow dances when I scream — I don’t want peace, I want the dream Why be normal, when I’m so divine? Breaking rules one breath at a time Don’t call it madness, call it design Why be normal, when I’m losing my mind? [bridge] Let the clocks burn, let the mirrors cry I found a truth that wears no disguise There’s beauty in the spiral, grace in the grime This chaos is mine, all mine [outro/chorus reprise] Why be normal, when the world’s a lie? Why stay grounded when you can fly? Don’t call me broken — I’m redefined Why be normal… when I’m out of my mind?
