lyrics

My new normal is a banquet of bones.
It is feeling crowded when I’m alone.
My new normal is silence echoed.
It is underwater but still explodes.

I could be normal.
I could be normal.
You don’t have to pack a suitcase to go to a place that don’t exist.
The mysteries in a list of cities where you’ll still feel like this.
But I won’t be there to hold you.
And you won’t be there to hold me back.
I could be normal.
I could be normal.

My new normal is the endless void
of the people around me, ants and androids.
My new normal is a backpack of swords.
It is only getting ahead when you’re going backwards.

I could be normal.
I could be normal.
You don’t have to pack a suitcase to go to a place that don’t exist.
The mysteries in a list of cities where you’ll still feel like this.
But I won’t be there to hold you.
And you won’t be there to hold me back.
I could be normal.
I could be normal.

My new normal is a hundred pound crown.
It’s not feeling alive when you’re not around
My new normal is a gun in my mouth.
But when you’re in you’re in. And when you’re out you’re out.

I could be normal.
I could be normal.
You don’t have to pack a suitcase to go to a place that don’t exist.
The mysteries in a list of cities where you’ll still feel like this.
But I won’t be there to hold you.
And you won’t be there to hold me back.
I could be normal.
I could be normal.

My new normal is a blanket on fire.
It’s saying you’ll work for free and still never getting hired.
My new normal is a gray rainbow.
It is knowing something is wrong, but you don’t say no.

I could be normal.
I could be normal.
You don’t have to pack a suitcase to go to a place that don’t exist.
The mysteries in a list of cities where you’ll still feel like this.
But I won’t be there to hold you.
And you won’t be there to hold me back.
I could be normal.
I could be normal.
