"How To Be Normal" lyrics
I wrangle my mind
It doesn't work every time
When my brain is on fire It singes the ropes
And it burns me down with it Till I'm comatose
And I don't feel real
Maybe I'm not
But I wake up and I'm still here
So how do I go on
With this weight on my chest
That I can't seem to shake
When the seams of reality
Are starting to fray
Life still goes on while I watch through a window
And beg on my knees please God
Why can't I be normal?
Why can't I feel normal?
I try to swim through the noise
As if I have a choice
But the drugs didn't work
So I choke on the hurt
The good days they still fight
Hold me like a lifeline
Till I don't feel real
And I'm paralyzed
My dreams and I take a backseat
We're along for the ride
For the war in my mind
With this weight on my chest
That I can't seem to shake
When the seams of reality
Are starting to fray
Life still goes on while I watch through a window
And beg on my knees please
God why can't I be normal?
Why can't I feel normal?
All the pain it's hard to describe
The trauma that sits in the back of my mind
Corrupting thoughts that pass me by
Everyday is a battle it puts up a fight
It seems its armor is thicker than mine
But sometimes I see cracks when the light hits just right
Abused by the ebb and flow
The betrayal of my hope
The dreamer inside
She still has me by the throat
I don't have the answer but I'll keep on trying
It's all I can do when I wake up this tired
It's all I can do when I wake up this tired
(Jesus Christ)
It doesn't work every time
When my brain is on fire It singes the ropes
And it burns me down with it Till I'm comatose
And I don't feel real
Maybe I'm not
But I wake up and I'm still here
So how do I go on
With this weight on my chest
That I can't seem to shake
When the seams of reality
Are starting to fray
Life still goes on while I watch through a window
And beg on my knees please God
Why can't I be normal?
Why can't I feel normal?
I try to swim through the noise
As if I have a choice
But the drugs didn't work
So I choke on the hurt
The good days they still fight
Hold me like a lifeline
Till I don't feel real
And I'm paralyzed
My dreams and I take a backseat
We're along for the ride
For the war in my mind
With this weight on my chest
That I can't seem to shake
When the seams of reality
Are starting to fray
Life still goes on while I watch through a window
And beg on my knees please
God why can't I be normal?
Why can't I feel normal?
All the pain it's hard to describe
The trauma that sits in the back of my mind
Corrupting thoughts that pass me by
Everyday is a battle it puts up a fight
It seems its armor is thicker than mine
But sometimes I see cracks when the light hits just right
Abused by the ebb and flow
The betrayal of my hope
The dreamer inside
She still has me by the throat
I don't have the answer but I'll keep on trying
It's all I can do when I wake up this tired
It's all I can do when I wake up this tired
(Jesus Christ)
