about

hey lol i just released a song called normalcy. it reminded me of when things were normal between us. you don't have to respond

lyrics

Normalcy picked me up from soccer practice and drove me home
She was silent, I responded to messages on my phone
And 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 my bike
I gave up on some other things, found new things that I liked
But I didn’t give up finding her, though it never felt right
Now I’m a kid in college, small in virtue, small in height
And I pick up the old diary and read through scribbled type
And realize I’ve been this sad for my entire life
And I realize now I’ve been this sad for my entire life
And that finally I’ve 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 pick up the old diary and read through scribbled type
And I realize I’ve been this sad for my entire life
And I realize now I’ve been this sad for my entire life
And that finally I’ve found some normalcy
