Lyric

Is it really me standing right here?

Or something else, a shadow of fear?

The face in the mirror is starting to fade

Into a stranger that the world has made

Stabbing voices ring inside my head

"Be stronger, faster," is all that’s said

Even being normal isn't allowed

This world is swallowing me into the crowd

No matter how far I run, it’s always there

The darkness chasing me, stripped and bare

It tries to warp me, tries to break my soul

But I’m still here, still in control

Why is being normal such a heavy feat?

This world tries to turn me into a beast

I’ll keep on screaming just to save my soul:

"I want to be me, let me be whole!"

Reaching for the light that feels so near

But even that glow is distorted by fear

Everyone laughs with a different mask

Knowing the truth is a hopeless task

Every time their eyes pierce through my skin

I feel myself crumbling from within

But the fire burning deep inside my chest

Hasn't gone out, it’s put to the test!

"I won't give in!"

"I won't be swallowed!"

I scream to this world:

"I will stay normal!"
