LYRICS:
There were times I wished I wanted the life another had.
Always knew the path I made would drive my mother mad.
And sometimes I wanted just to be the kind of man who dies.
To fit in, you must be normal. Well, I am normal.

Still I'm strange among the different.
I am odd among the few.
And every time I try to fit in a pocket,
I don't know which one to choose.

Sensei, tell me gently what I am to know.
I have now the fortitude for what I am to show.
But there were times I wanted just to be the kind of man who shows
how scared I am. I'm terrified, but I'm getting stronger.

Still I'm strange among the different.
I am odd among the few.
And every time I try to fit in a pocket,
I don't know which one to choose.

When I look at my creation,
I am consumed with flames of doubt.
But if I choose to sift through the ashes,
it may be me who stumbles out.

Blissful phoenix rising joyful from the coals.
I am not about to be unjoyful anymore.
But there were times I wanted just to be the kind of man who lives
below the flame. Well, step outside, boy. It's getting stronger.

Yes I am strange among the different.
I am odd among the few.
And every time I try to fit in a pocket,
I may not know which one to choose.

Yes, I am strange among the different.
So very odd among the few.
And every time I try to strangle an outcome
the 'out' comes out all strangled up too.

So, be here now.
Be here now.
Be here now.
