Song Lyrics

It makes me laugh, it makes me sad
Every key that doesn't fit you say
that it's bad
Judge books by their covers not the
stories inside
Codes of conformity drive me out of my mind

We're here, you're there
Don't breathe fast, you'll waste air
You weren't meant to be this way
You're not human, you're pure decay

Different is offensive so you say
Just treat me as any other
I won't apologise for my way
The same life story in a different cover

We're here, you're there
Don't breathe fast, you'll waste air
You weren't meant to be this way
You're not human, you're pure decay

Narrow minds breed narrow thoughts
One look at me won't reveal all
What you see in me you hate and despise
I return your stare with non-conformist eyes

We're here, you're there
Don't breathe fast, you'll waste air
You weren't meant to be this way
You're not human
