Eccentric

"Life is your most valuable possession, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value, and you can never have more than one. Do with it, what you will."



It's not so cheap
No, it's expensive
I'm not crazy
No, I'm eccentric


I was crazy back before it was cool
Built on the madness in my mind
I was hopeless before I was a fool
It's just the way I live my life


It's not simple
No, it's extensive
I'm not crazy
No, I'm eccentric


I was in love before I met you
It was something about the way you cried
And I was hooked before I ever knew
The light that shines in your eyes at night


It's not so vague
No, it’s intrinsic
I'm not crazy
No, I'm eccentric


And through all of my eccentricities
I find that I'm the one behind the disease
I'm the one, in whom I have to believe
Regardless of the way life goes for me
I'm not as crazy as you might think
I'm just as trapped inside here as free


It's not all real
No, it can be fiction
I'm not crazy
No, I'm eccentric
I'm not crazy
No, I'm eccentric


And when I think about these things
All the woes in my own eccentricities
Determined by my own idiosyncrasies
Of what I am before I open my eyes up to see


I'm not crazy
And I'm not wrong
I'm not crazy
And I'm not gone


It's not shadowed
No, it's complicit
I'm not crazy
No
I'm not crazy
No
I'm not crazy
I'm eccentric
