Back to Normal

 

I feel so crazy

I hate this feeling

I just want to get back to normal

 

My body’s hazy

I need some healing

I just want to get back to normal

 

I know what normal is like

It’s so fresh and clean

I know what I’m missing

Awake, happy, and keen

 

Back and forth through the air

I can never stay calm

Like an uncomfortable chair

It just feels so wrong

 

Nothing more than a feeling

But it’s the only thing I long

Back to normal I could be

But the sickness is too strong

 

I’ve taken for granted something so plain

Something so easy to attain

I shouldn’t have done it

Because then I wouldn’t feel this

 

Through my lungs tainted air

To my brain

It doesn’t care

Now I feel the pain

 

Taste of death

Smell of death

Sight of dying

Sound of dying

Feel like crying

 

Back to normal I come at last

Fresh and clean, awake, happy and keen

A thing of the past

This drug called nicotine
