[Verse 1: IV Conerly] Out of my mind they say Cause they heard me say "When I live you die" And they mock me just by saying they see I know they lie But we see the unseen Disregard physical eyes And I'm so free And I'm such a slave Simultaneously Strong when I'm weak Full when I don't eat You're awake but you're still asleep Wanna come up, gotta stay down Wanna speak loud, make no sound Attractive love attracts hate Take my hand I still rock a crown Okay, dude Seek to be wise, become a fool I'm saying yes by saying no Finding rest up under that yoke Want more trasure, give it away Requesting pleasure, it's in pain And to live is Christ, to die is gain That's my... [Hook] They saying oh-oh-oh-oh He must be crazy And you know-oh-oh-oh He's out his mind 'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay He can't be fine They saying oh-oh-oh-oh He must be crazy And you know-oh-oh-oh He's out his mind 'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay He can't be fine [Verse 2: IV Conerly] We triumph in defeat Conquer by yielding Wanna know more? Become like children The richest men have no millions, billions Standing up in these earthly stages But I'm nearing them heavenly places Don't need a mirror I see myself clearer through these pages Matter of fact, they see through me X-rays, a mirage Can't come close to diagnose What's going on in these men's lives I was born dead Stillborn, had to be born again Twenty-five-year-old infant Not afraid of anything Cause I feel him I'm thirsty, but I never thirst Hand to the plow, but never work Before the start, it was finished Many buildings but one broad church You ain't deaf but you don't hear me That's clear Looking through a glass dimly, it's clear Looking through a glass dimly, I'm here You don't have to give me [Hook: IV Conerly] They saying oh-oh-oh-oh He must be crazy And you know-oh-oh-oh He's out his mind 'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay He can't be fine They saying oh-oh-oh-oh He must be crazy And you know-oh-oh-oh He's out his mind 'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay He can't be fine [Verse 3: Odd Thomas] It's so astounding It's hard to wrap your mind around it Living in a state where faith makes everything around me seem like it's upside-down So complex but even the most unintellectual connects with it And even the most astute without the Spirit of God sees truth but still rejects it All the merits of men Could never make an amends To the God we've offended And when compared to God in his holy nature Every act and effort is unaccepted And through the sin of one man Sin entered in and began to spread its infection But through the perfect blood of God's Son The innocent won love and grace then extended So now we're living to die Because to die is gain Acquainted with peace In the midst of great pain We became free By becoming a slave And increase with the aim To bring fame to his name Might sound strange But we don't care what they say Even if they call us crazy for living that way It's tough to swallow until you follow the wordplay Upside-down Every day, all day [Hook: IV Conerly] They saying oh-oh-oh-oh He must be crazy And you know-oh-oh-oh He's out his mind 'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay He can't be fine They saying oh-oh-oh-oh He must be crazy And you know-oh-oh-oh He's out his mind 'Cause you can say-ay-ay-ay Nobody's ever felt that way-ay-ay-ay He can't be fine
