Normal

This one is for my brother, whose life is really not fair.

I awaken each morning
to the ringing in my head
To most a new beginning
but I'd rather just lie in bed

My name really doesn't matter
I'm sure we've met before
How well did you receive me?
Did you run and close the door?

Inside, I'm just the same as you
If you'd let yourself believe it
Will you hang me out to dry
As just another misfit?

-ref 1-
To hell with you, and your lies
You can't hear my stifled cries!
Just give me a chance, I say
you'll find you'll be surprised
-
I used to love but now I hate
In this world I didn't create
Don't give me your sympathy
it's too little, too late...
-

You lock me up and close my mind
You keep nothing within arm's reach
I'm considered unable
to perform the simplest feat

Oh poor boy I hear them say
When they get so very far away
But when my pain swells inside
they all jump to run and hide!

I can't stay awake anymore
and I'm growing out of control
I get angrier with every word
that stamps out each of my goals

Oh can't somone please understand
the torture that I'm going through?
Each hunger stricken day of my life
knowing I'm not at all like you?

So shut me out, it's growing cold;
I'll get warmed by my T.V.!
'Cos there I can have a good time
with no one to laugh at me!

-ref 1-

You're too late for me.
