lyrics

Everything begins to decay
In a world so mundane, still these tragedies remain in my heartscape
Feel like I am floating away
Disassociate the feelings from events before me, my headspace
Feels like I'm unraveling, traveling from the scene
In a life that I would never have been
A normal life that I would never have seen, for it to lead
To a time I could not claim to be me
I couldn't claim to be me
I couldn't claim to be me

And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To be normal in a time, a time like this
And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To feel normal in a place, a place like this

Still resiliently hoping that my life could change
For the better or worse, I still look at my options
Will I ever be considered as an everyday man
Just living life on the cusp, of something so mundane

Could I claim to be me?
Could I claim to be me?

Has my life changed? Am I safe from the shadows?
In the waves of time, have I been lifted from the freakshow
I know, I never fit here to begin with, I know
Yet still I hold onto hope
Yet still I hold onto hope

Could I claim to be me?
Could I claim to be me?

And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To be normal in a time, a time like this
And I sing
Normal songs for normal people
And I tried
To feel normal in a place, a place like this

Everything begins to awake
In the spring of my life, I am choosing the path to stay
