Normality is not a normal thing for me, to you I must confide
It reminds me of childhood memories, swinging on the swings and sliding down the slide
Normality to me is something unnatural, that does not come from the inside
It is forced upon us from tradition and the laws to which we all abide
Normality seems normal until you read between the lines
You see the cracks in our society but ignore the warning signs
Normality is not normal, just a sheet pulled over our eyes
It blinds us from the truth
That we are all individuals, and there should be nothing we are forced to hide
Normality is choosing the lazy river until you're nearly dead
Then looking back and wishing you'd chose the white knuckle ride instead
Normality divides the world
Those against us or on our side
So if like me you are abnormal
Do as you will, just for the thrill and hang on for the ride
