Not Exactly Normal

[emilyrose]

It's amazing how far
The time seems to travel
All this history
Starts to unwind and unravel

Through with looking for a new sensation
I don't have to 'cause it's there
Soaking me in, pulling me up and down
And down and

There is a light at the top
Of the stairwell where I've been thrown off
Quite a trip, along the way
Before you realize, you should have prayed

For what is there
Is not exactly normal
What surrounds you
Is something tame but fierce
When it gets inside
Never hide
No no no

It's disgusting how easily
The moments seem so entangled
All these connections
Form a critical angle

Through with thinking of negotiation
I don't have to, 'cause they don't care
Surrounding my brain, pulling it up and down
And down and

There is a fight at the top
I hope ya fare well 'fore they throw you off
Quite a trip, leaves you depraved
But even through Jesus, you'll never be saved

For what is there
Is not exactly normal
What surrouds you
Is something tame but fierce
When it gets inside
Never hide
No no no
No no no

"Give it up," you scream out loud to them
Again and again
Do you think they care if they choose to listen?
They just want to be there
To hit your body
'Til...
It glistens
It glistens
It glistens
Oh oh oh

For what is there
Is not exactly normal
What surrounds you
Is something you can sense but never hear
When it gets inside
They'll want to do more than hide
Within you

There is a man at the top
Who treats your problems with a laugh and a scoff
Quite a trip, get disengaged
But hopefully it's a better war you'll wage

Through with looking for a new sensation
I don't have to 'cause it's there
Soaking me in, pulling me up and down
And down and

There is a light at the top
Of the stairwell where I've been thrown off
Quite a trip, along the way
But just to let you know...they don't let you pray
They don't let you pray
They don't let you pray
They don't let you pray
They don't let you pray
They don't let you pray
They don't let you pray
They don't let you pray

If you're gonna try and get me
There's some things that you should know
I know you have trouble listening to me
So I'll take it nice and slow
Every day I've tried so hard to keep you from my mind
But don't worry you're back my dear
Why not sit back and unwind

Cause if you try you'll find
If you try
If you try you'll find I'm not exactly normal

Oh I'll never feel normal again
Not after you've left me like this
Oh I'll never feel normal again
Talking to you is just a mess

And if you try
And if you try
If you try
And if you try you'll find I'm not exactly normal.

i pop two pills
'cause i'm not quite normal
one for ADD
one for anxiety

i pop two pills
'cause they balance hormones
when i don't take them
i'm not good company

bah bah bah

two pills for society

bah bah bah

i'm in love with modern psychiatry

bah bah bah

lexapro, you've set me free

one pill for ADD
and another for anxiety
one pill for ADD
and another for anxiety


*this is the lyric you would hear if my voice was decipherable.

Not Exactly Normal (for Chris) - Kill Me Sarah

It's not exactly normal
It's not exactly sane
That a life lived like his is
should be spiraling down the drain

His brain feels like it's broken
His mind feels like it's bent
on accelerating the sickness
that is causing its descent

He don't want to lie 'neath the covers
He don't want to stay in the dark
He don't want to lie there forever
while just the beating of his heart goes...
hearts go...
our hearts go...
out

It's not exactly normal
It's not exactly sane
It's nowhere near fair
Just try not to be...
scared.

Whutup y'all

Hello and welcome to Songfight 101.
This is my very first time in class.
I'd like to thank you all for comin,
thank you all for bein' here,
thank you for being my friends.

I'm not exactly normal.
That bein' said I'm gonna kick yer fuckin' asses.
'Cause I can rhyme a word like normal with informal
or amoral or hormonal or what ever fuckin' passes.

yeah!

This is my first songfight.
This is my first time ever.
This is my first songfight.
I really hope that I can write a song that everybody thinks is clever...

fuck it.

(not exactly normal am I)

I'm not exactly normal.
But then again I'm friends with those guys known as WreckdoM.
So it kinda goes without sayin' that I'm prayin'
for a slayin' on my way in to this new audio sanctum.

Not exactly normal am I.

I've got a detached retinae
My eye floats all around
Turned to look inside of me
It saw something wrong

Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray
Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray

My fingers are long and broken
They bend in every way
Pointing out things all around me
I comment on them in dismay

I'm not wrong but I'm not quite right
Gonna wander the streets of the city tonight
As I mutter obscenities to myself
And all the people stop to gawk

Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray
Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray

My friends never come over
They stare at me from outside
I see them laugh and whisper
Someday I'll turn the tide

Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray
Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray

I nurture the bird of virtue
Pure of heart and underfed
It's back and wings are broken
We shall be one when we're both dead

I'm not wrong but I'm not quite right
Gonna wander the streets of the city tonight
As I mutter obscenities to myself
And all the people stop to gawk

Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray
Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray

I'm so tired of seeing straight I'll go and get a drink
and wash it down the hard way. The whiskey helps me think.
I've got a funny feeling Lord,
I'm not exactly normal, no.
And I've got a funny feeling I just lost you,
man that stinks.

Three years was a long time measured with your golden rule.
I'd change each minute if I could.
And I'll do unto others as I'd have them do to you.
See the world through my eyes, if you would.

She'll growl when she likes you
She'll flap her arms to get attention
She wants you to stand up
..and use only vowels to speak

She's Not Exactly Normal
She's exactly weird
She's exacting
and there's nothing that she fears... except the phone

She'll play a mean sonata on the Hammond organ
Sing a song in notes
Sing a song in scuffs
Doesn't mean a word

She's not exactly normal
She's exactly weird.

Patterns with other patterns in a pattern friendly style
She's just weird.

There’s a butterfly inside somewhere
He may be hanging out in my left foot,
Hoping I don’t trip

Maybe he’s hunkered down behind my eyes
If you look close, and be real still
He might just come out and play

I’m not exactly normal
I’m not what they might call sane
But it’s the best I can do
And you’re the best thing for me

I’m no creep, but I’ve seen you walking
You’re no angel or ballerina
Pirouetting

You’ve got that funny green hat
And your lips move like you’re having a chat
With an imaginary friend left over
From third grade

You’re not exactly normal
You’re not what they might call sane
But it’s the best you can do
And maybe I’m the best thing for you
It’s the best we can do
