Used to keep my eyes wide shut But now I'm staring down

Today I felt a switch in my vein Today I felt a switch in my vein

Used to be a shadow Now a shadow scream my name

And in the daylight I could swear We're the same

But I'm just an ordinary human (Ordinary ways)

I'm just an ordinary human But I don't feel so ordinary today

I'm just your picture perfect nothing Sometimes I medicate

I'll be a picture perfect human Before the sun goes down today

Today I felt a switch in my vein Today I made them all afraid

Used to be a shadow Now a shadow scream my name

And in the daylight I could swear We're the same

But I'm just an ordinary human (Ordinary ways)

I'm just an ordinary human But I don't feel so ordinary today

I'm just a picture perfect nothing Sometimes I medicate

I'll be a picture perfect human Before the sun goes down today

Just an ordinary human But I don't feel so typical, no, today

There'll be peace in the city tonight Peace in the city tonight

But when I'm gone I hope they get it right

There'll be peace in the city tonight Peace in the city tonight

For when I'm gone I hope they get it right

Just an ordinary human (Ordinary ways)

I'm ordinary human I don't feel so ordinary today

But when I'm gone I hope they get it right
