Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up, same clock Same stain on the ceiling tile Same scroll, cheap shock Every headline says “smile” Mom calls, “you good?” I say “yeah,” let the lie ring out Swipe past bad news Mute the part that wants to shout [Chorus] What’s “normal” anyway? Is it me, is it you, is it all just acting brave? We’re cracked but we still hold shape Calling this chaos “okay” What’s “normal” anyway? Is it them, is it us, or a word we overstate? We’re torn but we still don’t break Living between the cracks we made [Verse 2] Boss says “play nice” Hide the shake in my coffee cup Cheap chair, thin ice Can’t tell if I’m numb or stuck Laugh track in my head Every joke’s just a quiet plea Everyone looks fine Or they lie more clean than me [Bridge] I’m tired of the script, of the small talk Tired of “I’m fine” when my chest locked Tired of the mask and the dead walk Heart on airplane mode in a gridlock [Rap Verse] Scroll, scroll, scroll, let the fear go viral Pray to the paycheck, same old idol Call it survival, call it denial Call it “just being grown,” same old title I’ve been choking on the word “okay” Hand on throat, other hand on “play” Turn it up till the pain comes faint If this is “normal,” I don’t wanna be safe [Chorus] What’s “normal” anyway? Is it me, is it you, is it all just acting brave? We’re cracked but we still hold shape Calling this chaos “okay” What’s “normal” anyway? Is it them, is it us, or a word we overstate? We’re torn but we still don’t break Living between the cracks we made
