Slip into ignorance
To keep me warm
Slip into poverty to
To keep me numb
It's all that we ever need
Human flesh to feed
Sober and dumb
Slip into ignorance
To keep them smiling
I am a jester
At best
Forsake
What I know to be honesty
For a smidgen of fame
I'm the one to blame
Always
Overcompensating
This eagerness grating
Upon your ears
