slime brooch from me&you by rook&nomie

in a different life, i feel it all
but in this one, i can only try
everything's opaque
i'm somewhere else
everyone here seems to understand
but i am only guessing

i feel small and useless
and i try to smile through it
if no one sees the way i am
then that's a comfort

but everyone sees right through me
those years were more real
than i could ever hope to be
my clarity is diluted
i don't know how i arrived here
i just float away

in a different world, i'm only a girl
but in this one, i'm a puzzle box
for everyone to solve
honestly i'm not that cool
i can't even summon demons
but i guess if you squint
i'm pretty much one anyway

i'm evil in the open
and nothing worse i'm hoping
i'm slime even to myself
and that's a comfort

but everyone sees right through me
those years were more real
than i could ever hope to be
my clarity is diluted
i don't know how i arrived here
i just float away

but everyone sees right through me
those years were more real
than i could ever hope to be
my clarity is diluted
i don't know how i arrived here

i'm floating away
