Illusions of Normal

Normal is just a setting nobody actually lives on. The introverts figured that out first. The rest of us are catching up.

I'm spinning… (spinning...) And never slowing down… You're beginning… (beginning...) To turn yourself around… Are we winning…? (winning...) Or simply being drowned… What are sparks in the wrong flame But illusions of normal taking the blame I see Introverts in an extrovert world lookin' for peace You talk awfully loud, while they try to find release You post your life, your smile, with your perfect face Make 'em feel bad for being quiet in their own little space You say you're open-minded, but turn up your nose At the ones who step out and break free from your expected prose "Stop arguing!" you don't know their world, so just shut up And stop acting enlightened when your mind's still stuck Once you scream for change, you fear the unknown How's progress even progress if you're glued to your throne? I know the feeling to always want it all Too scared to step out, too scared to risk the fall Progress is a train; yeah, it got power and speed But once we miss the beat it derails at society's need Jump on too fast, they'll drag you to the back 'Cause the ones in control always fear what they lack I'm spinning… (spinning...) And never slowing down… You're beginning… (beginning...) To turn yourself around… Are we winning…? (winning...) Or simply being drowned… What are sparks in the wrong flame, But illusions of normal taking the blame! I see rebels dressed as prophets in yesterday's clothes What's taboo in the morning's a truth they'll impose You call them a glitch if they don't fit your screen But your code was corrupt—your cracks made you dream The harmless you cast in the shadows of shame Because the sparks in the storm start fires you can't tame Chastised for the echoes your truth's tryin' to make But the earth only quakes when the rules start to break We're stuck in a loop, but it's all in your head Play by the rules while real truth misled Parade your ideas like they're all carved in stone But the walls you've built crumble when you're alone You claim to want change, now you're blocking the door "I'm Sorry?" Okay fine, breathe in that smoke But don't ask for more You're fighting a war, but don't understand Protecting history built in the sand As soon as you stand, the tide takes it all Forget what's "normal" in a world that won't call I'm spinning… (spinning...) And never slowing down… You're beginning… (beginning...) To turn yourself around… Are we winning…? (winning...) Or simply being drowned… What are sparks in the wrong flame, But illusions of normal taking the blame! In a world so divided, you still draw your lines Claim to stand tall, but trapped in designs Let the mask slip—it's okay to feel free Illusions ain't dreams when you let 'em be
