Unassimilated Normie
Daniel Watson, Jay Clayton
Oh, taboo, how I both love and hate you
How some days I only want to break you
But what is broken seems a mess at least to be
The one who breaks the silence, to face alone
The violence whilst
I sit and watch in safe and silent agreement
Oh, convention, how I bend at the very mention
Just keep me safe, save some face
I’ll mask all intention and desire
Whilst my heart it burns on fire
I wear beige on a grey day
Some routines that I avoid I wish where habit
Some routines that I avoid are wreaking havoc
It’s been ten long years and I still suck at being an adult
I bore me, you can call me the unassimilated Normie
You know me, I’m just trying to pass
As someone who won’t get beaten up
And won’t get shouted at
