Instrumental intro
Verse 1
Lights (lights... lights...)
Stab my eyes (eyes... eyes...)
Sounds (sounds... sounds...)
Crack my skull...
You call it normal (normal, normal)
I call it hell (hell, hell)
Mask on tight-tight-tight-tight
Locked in my cell (cell, cell)
Eyes avoid yours (yours, yours)
You call me "distant"
I'm drowning here (here, here)
In your s-s-s-system.
Chorus
What I wish you knew (knew)
Makes me who I am (tick-tick-tick-tick)
What I wish you knew (knew)
Is that I'm not broken
Damn!
Instrumental
Verse 2
Rules unwritten (written, written)
Terms unclear-clear-unclear
You bend them daily (daily, daily)
I dis-dis-dis-disappear
"Too high functioning"
For your s-s-s-support
"Too different" still
For your sort-sort-sort-sort
The constant decoder-coder-decoder
Of your strange, strange, strange ways
I'm the anthropologist-gist-gist
Of everyday-day-day (day)
Chorus
What I wish you knew (knew)
Makes me who I am (tick-tick-tick-tick)
What I wish you knew (knew)
Is that I'm not broken
Damn!
Bridge
System rigged against-against-against
Different minds (minds... minds...)
Calling me broken-broken
While you stay blind (blind... blind...)
(tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick)
Break
Verse 3
Tasks pile up-up-up-up
Simple to you-you-you-you
Mountains to climb-climb-climb-climb
See no way through-through-through-through
Reveal my truth (truth, truth)
Watch faces change (change)
Same person still (still, still)
Now labeled "strange".
Double empathy:
Problem is real (real, real)
You demand my heart
While yours stays sealed (sealed, sealed)
Chorus
What I wish you knew (knew-knew-knew)
Makes me who I am (tick-tick-tick-tick)
What I wish you knew (knew-knew-knew)
Is that I'm not broken
Damn!
