Almost Sweet
A sickening something crawls down my throat,
And I don’t know why, but I just won’t choke
It’s always been there, despite what I thought
And now all of this feels like a bad joke
I’m seeing invisible ciphers
Thing that isn’t there, an unwritten verse
I’m hearing inaudible whispers
Only I perceive them – is this my curse?
I’m so hungry that I can’t eat
It’s all so bitter it’s almost sweet
It’s just barely not there, like I dreamed it
And it’s so damn bitter, it’s almost sweet
A sickening something crawls up my throat
It makes me spit, gag, and it makes me choke
Saw it coming, but it’s worse than I thought
It is the punchline, to this twisted joke
I’ve got a bad feeling – about nothing
But also – about every single thing
Delusions make me sick to my stomach
But the truth is something I can’t stomach
I am untouched, and yet, I have been hit
It’s all so bitter it’s almost sweet
It’s just barely there – I didn’t dream it
And it’s so damn bitter, it’s almost sweet
A sickening something, stuck in my throat
After all this time, it still makes me choke
All of this is clearly not what I sought
I wish all of this was just some dumb joke
My head is in the clouds – stormy and gray
But my feet – rooted in the soil and clay
And that pressure, it pains me greatly
Why can’t things, for once, go, oh, so gently?
I’m new to this town, but I know this street
It’s all so bitter it's almost sweet
Is it really there? What if I dreamed it?
It’s so damn bitter it’s almost sweet
