"Say What You Will" lyrics

"Say What You Will"
(originally by James Blake)

I've been normal
I've been ostracized
I've watched through a window
As my young self died
And I've been popular
With all the popular guys
I gave them punchlines
They gave me warning signs

And I look okay
In the magic hour
In the right light
With the right amount of power
And I'm okay
With the life of the sunflower
And I'm okay
With the life of a meteor shower

So say what you will
Go on, say what you will
You're gonna do it anyway
Go on
Say what you will

I can find my way
With no superpowers
I can take my place
Without becoming sour
I might not make
All those psychopaths proud
'Least I can see the faces
Of the smaller crowds

And I'm okay
No, I can drive myself
I've been sobered
By my time on the shelf
And I've been normal
I've been ostracized
Like a comet
Blazing through an empty sky

So say what you will
Go on, say what you will
You're gonna do it anyway
Go on
Say what you will

And so say what you will
Go on, say what you will
You're gonna do it anyway
So say what you will
