[00:17.810] Well
[00:19.180] Either I'm nice on the eye
[00:21.140] Or this person that's passing me by has never seen one like me before
[00:25.960] We endure it, keep reaching for it
[00:28.380] Knee deep, we keep pouring, life force in a formless void
[00:31.640] We're too gorgeous
[00:32.620] Dwarf the whole street when we walk
[00:34.550] Are you transported?
[00:36.260] I cherish the ones who support us
[00:38.590] Fear takes from us, but love restores us
[00:41.300] You are not the sum of the things you do wrong
[00:43.920] In the eyes of someone who does not understand you
[00:47.450] It's not a disorder or a dysfunction
[00:50.570] Disgusting the way they discuss us
[00:52.690] But just 'cause a person's not decent to me
[00:55.460] Don't mean they're not decent to someone
[00:57.770] The norm is not normal, it's a construction
[01:00.710] Designed to stifle the inner life and increase production
[01:04.460] They never wanted people like me round here
[01:06.940] But when I'm dead
[01:08.020] They'll put my statue in the square
[01:10.490] They used to tell their children not to stare
[01:12.670] But when I'm dead
[01:13.690] They'll put my statue in the square, yeah
[01:16.340] They're ten a penny, we're rare
[01:18.330] And when we're dead
[01:19.390] They'll put our statues in the square
[01:22.050] They can shake their heads in despair
[01:23.830] But we been here from the start
[01:25.350] And we ain't going nowhere
[01:27.020] Spent my life trying to do things your way
[01:28.620] Normal didn't feel right
[01:29.900] Trapped in a shrinking hallway
[01:31.550] Till it got too tight
[01:32.930] Deep breath, fresh air when I broke the surface
[01:35.550] Yes, we've all lost lovers, what's sad is a lost purpose
[01:38.460] Reclaim it, reframe it
[01:39.610] Rename it something more fitting
[01:41.250] Contain it, champagne it
[01:42.460] Complaining never did nothing
[01:43.960] But hitting the ground running's a start
[01:45.860] Hold your position
[01:47.080] Tape it up, tuck it and love it beyond condition
[01:49.930] Watching the city surrender to rain
[01:51.400] I remember to live is to change
[01:52.870] I don't pray for the end of my pain
[01:54.050] I pray for the strength to weather it
[01:55.400] Paused on the brink of a gaping precipice
[01:56.780] Hesitant, derelict slow from the sedative
[01:58.130] Terrified people never stop asking where the treasure is
[01:59.890] I'm like everything's relative
[02:01.040] So don't be surprised when they shield their eyes
[02:03.890] What they fear's a reflection of their own minds
[02:06.870] They reveal themselves in their dead headlines, it's fine
[02:10.560] We don't need permission to shine
[02:12.970] They never wanted people like me round here
[02:15.480] But when I'm dead
[02:16.620] They'll put my statue in the square
[02:19.080] They used to tell their children not to stare
[02:21.230] But when I'm dead
[02:22.250] They'll put my statue in the square, yeah
[02:24.870] They're ten a penny, we're rare
[02:26.950] And when we're dead
[02:27.930] They'll put our statues in the square
[02:30.590] They can shake their heads in despair
[02:32.520] But we been here from the start
[02:33.750] And we ain't going nowhere
