This is Why I'm Strange.
The same problems that I went through as a kid
I got the same problems, goin' through the same bullshit
I wish you understood how much it hurts, how angry that it gets me
it's like I'm invisible, cars just wanna' hit me
the way things is goin' I won't live to see fifty
cause when I walk around people be thinkin' that I'm shifty
They see the trench coat, the Voodoo necklace fits me
and everybody else, they want to curse and bewitch me
they think I worship Satan, but I'm more like a hippie
I just wanna' sit back, smoke a spliff and live free
I never hurt you, but I will if you tempt me
Ready to pull a Columbine, terminate my enemies
Too many obstacles up in my way
You can get your nose out of my business or catch a case
I wrote the book on bein' real, you can take a page
Rule number one: Never tolerate a fake
I never knew how hard my life would be from bein' honest
no appreciation for the truth, stupidity is chronic
I'm not a genius, but to most I can't relate
most of my days this is somethin' I have to face
and this is why I'm strange
Yeah, this is why I'm strange
I been dealin' with so many issues
Baby, I miss you, but I feel I'm not the only man who gets you
that's not the only thing that's been on my mind lately
Though, I must confess that it bothers me greatly
You see, I've been stricken with a string of bad luck and disease
My folks think I'm crazy, signed me up for Disability
I got so many pills that I have to take
Can't catch a break, when I go to sleep, I pray I don't wake
Lord, even though I don't believe in you, I'm desperate
Somebody come and make me feel whole, cause I'm separate
Separate from my people, separate from the world, I'm wrestlin'
with my Demons constantly, and I'm stressin'
This ain't no way to exist for a person my age
I'm only 26, why does my life feel out played?
I'm hearing things and the people around me ain't safe
and nothing brings the happiness that I crave
People, this is why I'm strange
Yeah, this is why I'm strange
(bridge)
Let's turn it back to 1990 when I was seven
even back then I was outcast like a felon
why they didn't like me? Who the fuck knows, there ain't no tellin'
I was a dark child, maybe sick in the melon
For whatever reason I dwelt on dark things
The paranormal, monsters, ghosts and gross fiends
I was rejected by the kiddies, the grown ups scorned me
It was a daily ritual that continued into my teens
and beyond; the only savior that I found was music
It was my everything, no Human Being could bruise it
abuse it or take it away or make it useless
Oh my, how they tried, but I had to pursue it
Fast forward, here I am and I'm anxious everyday
waiting for the moment when I'm gettin' fat paid
on stage, big house, got it made, but I'm ashamed
Cause I can't stop thinkin' bout the grave
and this is why I'm strange
Yeah, this is why I'm strange

@richardswrath Thank you, brother. The schpill on this song is....it's an experiment. I've always dug rap and hip hop, but I'm in an Alternative Metal/Hard Rock/Space Doom band, so....it completely contradicts the prior image I had sculpted of myself and I guess it made my friends uncomfortable that I'm this Rock guy trying to do rap. I guess they thought it was contrived or forced, but production on the song was shut down because no one has any faith in my abilities in this area.

@i8numbers So, I'm glad to see that your assessment was honest and accurate because the song is indeed only about 60% done. Those vocals are pretty much first take material, so...It was a very short lived pipe dream, I guess.
