Normalcy

Normalcy picked me up from soccer practice and drove me back home
She was silent, I responded to messages on my phone
When I looked back up, nobody was left in the driver's seat
She disappeared like that, my normalcy

I gave up on piano and I fell down off of my bike
I gave up on some other things, found new things that I like
But I never gave up finding her, though it never felt right
Now I'm a kid in college, small in virtue, small in height

And I picked up the old diary and read through scribbled type
And I realise that I've been this sad for my entire life
And I realise that I've been this sad for my entire life
And that finally, I found some normalcy

The politicians shouting from the depths of my TV
Old people, old ideas, good old reasons no one seeks
And when they don't have a reason they do not fall to their knees
They invoke the holy word of normalcy

You think that I'm so funny and you think that I'm so smart
That my problems are all real and that I've got a real big heart
But my brain is made of packing tape
And old tags from the mall
Built back when computers were big and the world was really small

And I picked up the old diary and read through scribbled type
And I realise that I've been this sad for my entire life
And I realise that I've been this sad for my entire life
And now finally I found some normalcy
