Normal Ain’t Good
Lose your commitment to being “normal”.
Contrary to popular belief,
You’re allowed to be you.
You need no permission slip,
It’s inalienable.
The Ghouls can only temporarily supress you.
Even if they beat you down your whole life.
At the worst – the trapped bird in your heart will sing after you die.
But try not to go that way.
Fend them off early as possible.
Coz what’s Worse than being “Normal?”
I can’t imagine anything worse.
Those guys don’t even know they’re in Prison!
Don’t sell you & your soul out,
To that normie in-group that ain’t cool –
Despite their false backwards land high-school statuses,
They’re just a bunch of literal Ghouls.
And though some do – most never ever change.
They will remain boring straightjacketed normie assholes for eternity.
That saying ‘everyone deserves the face they’ve got at 50″
Is 100% true.
And their faces will show it sooner than that.
Don’t be one of them.
So Let that Bird in your chest sing,
And tell Normie Ghouls to go fuck themselves.
Normal ain’t good.
Normal ain’t cool.
Normal ain’t nothing.
It was probably just blind chance that being a mean asshole somehow became ‘normal’.
So let that bird in your chest sing.
