Maya's song: ordinary

ordinary girl
living in an
ordinary world
living with her
ordinary problems,
like snakes and fears and trauma
ordinary, I swear

ordinary girl
no secrets I cannot hide
ordinary world
no secrets left to find
portals to new worlds
don't exist,
they're in my mind, and
I think I was just born tired

too tired of life

go with the grain, I swear
it'll be better this way
shove down the pain, fix your hair
it'll be so much better this way
curse the rain, don't you dare
you're better off this way

Maya, don't forget to say
I'm okay

ordinary girl
living in such an
ordinary world
and I can't complain
and if I can, I'd say
everything's just too plain
I'm heading down the drain

ordinary girl
living in an
ordinary world
and I'm
ordinary
so painfully ordinary
so ordinary it hurts

tired, too tired for this life

go with the grain, I swear
it'll be better this way
shove down the pain, cut your hair
you'll feel so much better this way
curse the rain, don't you dare
I am better off this way

and Maya, don't forget to say
I'm okay

I'm okay

I'm okay.
