Say Hi

(album: Afterburner - 2020)

You're just in denial and with the wrong one
Love don't make you crippled or enslaved
You're just in denial and with the wrong one
Job description ain't the one who saves

I can still see my former reflection
Behind my new complexion
I just need to be alone

Why do people stare?
Are they noticing you're there?
Swap me for my clone
And don't touch me when I'm stoned

I'll be my old self again soon
I just need time to unwind
Smash my demons with cold fiction
Until they're all catechized

I need reminded recognize it thinking doesn't know
Another night, another night, another night alone
Minimize or dramatize, it stops, it starts, it goes
Another night, another night, and no one even knows

Did you notice I'm normal?
Did you notice I'm normal?
Take a look, babe, I'm normal
Did you notice I'm normal?

You're just in denial and with the wrong one
Love don't make you crippled or enslaved
You're just in denial and with the wrong one
Job description ain't the one who saves

Uh uh hi
How do I say hi to another guy when I wanna die
Why? Uh hi
Why don't you say hi, we're all alive, I guess that's nice, don't wanna die
Hi
It's nice to be alive, don't wanna die, you should say hi, I won't lie
Hi
But first I'm saying hi to say I tried to stay alive

[?]
Who the hell's recording this
I never gave my full consent
There's sounds I make I can't defend
Or show them to my mom

Did you notice I'm normal?
Did you notice I'm normal normal?
Did you notice
Did you notice

Did you notice I'm normal?
Did you notice I'm normal?
Take a look, babe, I'm normal
Did you notice I'm... normal?

I grapple, I paddle, I clutch
More thinking, more sinking, more mud
How many holes have I dug?
More thinking, more sinking, more mud
