Normal from Outhouse by Panko Stankhole

When I was younger I wished I was normal
I wished I wasn’t so ordinary
My skin was too thin and the world was so scary
I wish I could go back to when I knew so little

Now that I’m older I’m bored and it’s normal
Grown up days that feel ordinary
My patience is thin and the world is still scary
Turns out I can’t go back…I still know so little

It’s out of my control
They say that’s normal
I’m stuck in time
That doesn’t seem normal
My brain is on fire
I wanna be normal
So I wait for answers to appear

When I felt better forgot I was normal
Everything worked it was ordinary
Thought I was fine my own thoughts used to scare me
I wish I could go back to when I knew so little

Now I feel tired, this is my new normal
How can bad start to feel ordinary
The tests say I’m fine but the options still scare me
Turns out we can’t go back, they still know so little

It’s out of my control
They say that’s normal
I’m stuck in time
That doesn’t seem normal
My brain is on fire
I wanna be normal
So I wait for answers to appear
