[Intro – Whispered, distorted] Everybody wants to be somebody. Everybody wants to feel okay. Tell me, what’s so wrong with being human? What’s so wrong with being afraid? [Verse 1] There’s a panic in my bloodstream, There’s a monster deep inside me. Got a head full of disasters And a smile they think is pretty. All my worst-case scenarios Are dancing in the hallway. I’ve been medicating memories, But they never seem to go away. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I’m so good at playing dead, With a thousand thoughts inside my head. Everybody says that I’ll be fine, But nobody’s living in my mind. [Chorus – Explosive, distorted vocals] I wanna be normal, normal, Just a little less paranormal. Get me out of my head, Get me out of my skin. I’m so tired of the body I’m in. I wanna be fine, be fine, Sleep without a war inside. Can somebody turn down the noise? I’m a broken little human-shaped void. Oh-oh, I’m not alright. Oh-oh, but I’ll be fine. I wanna be normal, normal, Just for one damn night. [Verse 2] Got a graveyard in my contacts, All the friends who never call back. I’m the king of disappearing, Throw a party, I’m not there yet. Four walls, one bed, Too much life inside my head. I’m a walking contradiction, Half a panic, half addiction. And it’s funny how the lonely Find a way to make you feel less lonely. We’re all screaming in silence, Just with different disguises. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I’m so good at playing dead, With a thousand thoughts inside my head. Everybody says that I’ll be fine, But nobody’s living in my mind. [Chorus – Bigger, layered vocals] I wanna be normal, normal, Just a little less paranormal. Get me out of my head, Get me out of my skin. I’m so tired of the body I’m in. I wanna be fine, be fine, Sleep without a war inside. Can somebody turn down the noise? I’m a broken little human-shaped void. Oh-oh, I’m not alright. Oh-oh, but I’ll be fine. I wanna be normal, normal, Just for one damn night. [Bridge – Music drops, whispered vocals] Doctor, doctor, what’s my diagnosis? Too much feeling, not enough composure. Pretty little pills and a pretty little smile, I’ve been falling apart in the most fashionable style. Maybe I’m dramatic, Maybe I’m a mess. Maybe I’m just tired Of being somebody’s unfinished success. [Final Chorus – Full production, distorted harmonies] I wanna be normal, normal, Just a little less paranormal. Get me out of my head, Get me out of my skin. I’m so tired of the body I’m in. I wanna be fine, be fine, Give me just one peaceful night. Can somebody turn down the noise? I’m a broken little human-shaped void. Oh-oh, I’m not alright. Oh-oh, still alive tonight. I wanna be normal, normal, Just for one damn night. [Outro – Music slows, childlike vocal layering] Normal, normal, Is it really that hard? Normal, normal, I’ve been trying so hard. Just one night. Just one night. I wanna be normal tonight.
