Half of the time I’m normal
Half of the time I’m too crazy to function
Half of the time I’m straight edge
The other half I’m a raging alcoholic

I’m either the life of the party or not speaking at all
I’m in love or disinterested, infatuated or indifferent
There’s no in between
I feel like I have nothing
I feel like I have everything I need

When people say you should “be yourself” they’re lying
When people say you should “be yourself”
“Be yourself” they’re lying

They want you to be normal in a vaguely quirky way
They want you to be normal every single day
They meant different like nerdy kids in high school movies
Not transsexual, mentally unstable, or autistic
Because one day someone said we should all just pretend
Because one day someone said we should all just pretend

When people say you should “be yourself” they’re lying
