Trapped Within My Mind - My Name is Chromi

My Name Is Chromi by Trapped Within My Mind A quirky song about a guy who has a hard time fitting in. My name is Chromi and I drive a Honda The check engine light's been on since October Got a monkey shelf above my bed Forty-seven monkeys staring at my head People ask me why I keep them all I say, "One day they might break my fall" Nobody knows exactly what that means But somehow it sounds profound to me Walking through the hallway on a mission Never really tellin' anybody what it is Got somewhere to be Or maybe nowhere at all Just moving with purpose down the hall You can look me in the eyes And try to read my mind But all you'll find is elevator music And a weather report from 1999 And everybody laughs But nobody's laughing at me We're all just trying to understand Whatever's happening internally My name is Chromi And I'm doing my best I know I'm a little different Than all the rest But you saved me a seat When nobody had to And I don't always know what to say But I remember that you do I've got a tongue that's longer than it oughta be It's become my accidental personality Every year I swear I'm gonna act more normal Every year I fail spectacularly I wave at strangers I miss social cues I tell the same stories And wear the same shoes And somehow you still let me hang around Even when my brain takes the scenic route through town Maybe somewhere else I'd be the weirdest guy in the room Maybe somewhere else People wouldn't know what to do But here I'm just Chromi And somehow that's enough You don't ask me to change You just laugh and say, "What's up?" My name is Chromi And I drive that Honda still I've got my monkey shelf And probably always will I've got friends who understand Or at least pretend they do And honestly I think that's all any of us Are really trying to do Walking down the hallway On another mission No destination Just vibes
