So when they’ve trampled your dreams
And when they’ve crushed all desire
That’s when you may as well quit
That’s when it’s time to retire
There’s nothing left to achieve
Nothing to which you aspire
But still my heart somehow bleeds
Still I’m consumed by this fire
I struggle to rise against
All those who’d want me to change
Repress my heart and repent
Don’t try to tell me what’s strange
So I’ve got strangeways
Does that make me wrong
Well you’d have strangeways
If you just didn’t belong
But still I fought my way through
God knows I’ve tried to be strong
It’s like my mind’s in a maze
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
It’s all these panic attacks
They keep on holding me back
I try to rise to the light
But just sink in to the black
I came to far down this road
I came too fast of this track
And now I’m feeling the strain
Beginning to see the cracks
And still you say that I’m weird
My mind’s disturbed and deranged
I’m everything that you feared
Don’t try to tell me what’s strange
So I’ve got strangeways
Is that what you think
Well you’d have strangeways
If you were pushed to the brink
Thought hope could keep me afloat
Seems like I can’t help but sink
Is this the price I must pay
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
So I’ve got strangeways
Does that make me wrong
Well you’d have strangeways
If you just didn’t belong
But still I fought my way through
God knows I’ve tried to be strong
My head and heart’s in a daze
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
…Is that what you think
Well you’d have strangeways
If you were pushed to the brink
I’ve never been like the rest
And no it’s not just a phase
Maybe it’s you that’s repressed
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
So what if you’ve got strangeways
So what if we’ve got strangeways
