Ever so slight is the slime in my throat
Lightly obscuring the words that it coats
My idea of a joke: drown to see if I float
And I'm laughing the loudest of all
I set aside my disaffection
But found respite in resentment
In rejection I found a semblance
Of comfort so I've only ever lived
At the top of this tower
There is a reason for all of this
This anger has impetus
I talk a big game
Stoke a big flame
But that doesn't mean I don't get burned
I draw lines between myself and everyone else
As a defense against impermanence
As an affront to my health
Still I am fine most of the time
Ever so slight is the slime in my throat
Lightly obscuring the words that it coats
My idea of a joke: drown to see if I float
And I'm laughing the loudest of all
And it's small
But there's a certain consolation
Involved in total alienation
For all
Of this self-deprecation
I'm not actually this jaded
Or obsessed with isolation
I just talk a big game
Stoke a big flame
But that doesn't mean I don't get burned
I draw lines between myself and everyone else
As a defense against impermanence
As an affront to my health
Still I am fine most of the time
Ever so slight is the slime in my throat
Obscuring the words that it coats
My idea of a joke: drown to see if I float
And I'm laughing the loudest of all
