Tell me I'm normal and now I am happy Tell me it's all gone away Give me the answer and don't you shoot me down

Cliche 05:39
Hearing that same old line That we're all in this together Outreach through music Don't make me sick It's a tired cliché I'll find another way Isolation is more me I'm better off alone Accuse all the others Just to play it safe But deep down you know It's you, who has to pay I could think of a thousand times People tell me I'm wrong Never a clear mind Or ready to agree We always fall for the cliché's in life Claiming a subjective unique stance We always fall for the bigger stories And blame our lives on someone else Test the waters with a lie Don't show your hand until someone cries Test the waters with the truth Don't show your hand until someone dies
3.
It's not my fault My doctor said so I did no wrong The left absolved me It's not my fault I take no blame I did no wrong Just give me fame It's you and me until the end Don't you try to comprehend I never wanted to hurt you And I won't care if I do It's me again with another 40 years of thoughts It's me who tries to make sense of it all It's me who's first to say I'm wrong Ramble away and give you my spin I talk too much It is your fault You make me ill You got it wrong And made me fall It is your fault You should have known You got it wrong And should have saved me
4.
I don't want you to misunderstand Or ever misconstrue my words Life has beaten me down Jaded my thoughts Invisible, I'm invisible 'til I sing I don't always have an answer The only way I know Is to bellow out my words I begin to play The room starts to change Invisible, I'm invisible 'til I sing Never knew Just how long it took To make a mark On the world Never knew Just how much it took My ego dismantled I'm invisible 'til I sing I know too much I fear nothing I know too much Ignorance was bliss So many hopeful voices Destined to fail There isn't room for us all Invisible, I'm invisible 'til I sing I find that merit does not belong A long line of gatekeepers With ideas too deviant to list Invisible, I'm invisible 'til I sing Expectant ears and lucid eyes All waiting to hear a voice, another cliché from life Invisible... He's a paint by numbers man A hollow copy of life His records buy his clothes
5.
A daily routine I'm always stuck between Happy and myself My motivation is lacking I just need to move People tell me How to live my life I don't need your words A daily routine I'm always stuck between Happy and myself I get caught up In the meaningless The things so little and talk so cheap I don't mean to It still feels new I overthink and I act too quick I'll never change 'cause I wouldn't be here Happiness A feeling so hard to deconstruct Happiness An emotion So displaced and overlooked Happiness Expecting me to smile Happiness Does it really matter? I can't decide

Clarity 02:35
I can calm Every part of my mind But I can't take hold of paranoia I'm indisposed I will take Each day as it comes But I know I'm a work in progress Climb down From that ledge of levity You're no more than human too I have been Through the rough and found my home I can say With a sense of clarity That I know, who I am I'm perfectly me And that's okay to be Go find your home It's clear to see A path through this From the outside, time to condescend Inside the eye of emotion I can't even hear you I can't hear you! Clarity Suffice to say it's finally here Clarity I'm through to the other side
8.
Whenever I cannot sleep I listen to my thoughts And hear what they have to say It gets so lonely I become a shadow too I wait for the sun to rise Overthinking how I always get things wrong High expectations Deciding on my own What my future holds And how I will get there too I try to remember What brought me here It's hard to focus on The things that matter Distractions take me away And pull me under I try to live each day Like I can't see tomorrow Identity through my art Has been a saving grace But it doesn't solve it all What is my purpose? Where do I go from here? Where do I belong? I don't want to know I need some guidance too A voice to help me through No god or preaching text To tell me who I am Just a word of positivity
9.
Take a moment To see inside Take a moment To reclaim your past Take a moment To forgive yourself Take a moment I'm here at last
10.
Imagine a world where People lived beyond a screen Concede to the apathy of life Tech sold us our dreams Imagine a world where We restart reality I've had enough of this place Too much time Spent on avoiding the issue Restart the world we live in And take me to a brand new place
11.
Acceptance 01:49
12.
Excite reprise - I am always afraid I am always concerned But not today Not in this life I feel it's time To calm the dark You are So wonderful and nice to me I try So hard to see the fault in you Life is A social dance of who looks best I am So sick of always coming last Excite the light assume my nature Excite the light refrain from danger Excite the light pretend to know me Excite the light you never will You said some things that still haunt me I see All the text between the lines I don't Want to ever trust you now I won't Concede and then give into you Hatred Reprise - Don't worry about me I have music, I have life! Just run along guys You were always right Excite Reprise - I can't get by On humour I trust you all Let's see where This path goes Hello normality I am always afraid I am always concerned But not today Not in this life I feel it's time To calm the dark The TI choir - I'll excite my own light, I'll run through every wall With a stubborn amusing nature Melancholy behind it all Despair behind the smile But do we ever call? Our social game is dying And people here are realising Don't you worry about me I have music I have life Excite the Light! There is more to life Than happiness Excite the Light!
