I’m Not Your Foxing Punchline | Kiba Snowpaw

A personal song about jokes going too far, feeling unwanted inside a group you hoped would feel like a pack, and finally reaching the point where staying quiet hurts more than speaking up. Lyrics: [Intro] I used to like that little sound That meant somebody wrote. Now every time my name lights up, I feel it in my throat. [Verse 1] I brought a joke to lift the room, Then stayed to hear your day. I thought a pack meant somewhere safe To put the heavy things away. At first, I laughed along with you; I let the little comments slide. You took my laugh for one more round; I kept the damage tucked inside. [Pre-Chorus] I said enough in quiet words. They vanished underneath the noise. You didn’t hear me hurting Until the anger found a voice. [Chorus] I’m not your foxing punchline. There’s only so much I can take. If I’m the one who keeps you laughing, Why am I the one you break? I came here looking for my pack, Somewhere I could drop my guard. Don’t keep calling me too sensitive While you aim at every scar. [Verse 2] My head turns every missing answer Into proof I don’t belong. I know a silent phone can’t prove it, But the nights get fucking long. I want to be somebody’s first thought, A name they’re glad to see. A message with no favour in it, Just someone checking in on me. [Pre-Chorus] I kept the peace at my expense Until the anger filled my chest. You don’t get all the gentle parts And leave me fighting with the rest. [Chorus] I’m not your foxing punchline. There’s only so much I can take. If I’m the one who keeps you laughing, Why am I the one you break? I came here looking for my pack, Somewhere I could drop my guard. Don’t keep calling me too sensitive While you aim at every scar. [Bridge] I called myself a nobody, Then hated what I’d said. I’d used your words against myself Inside my own fucking head. I don’t want to make you hurt like this; I want this shit to end. If I have to beg for basic kindness, What the fuck do you mean by friend? [Final Chorus] I’m not your foxing punchline. There’s only so much I can take. If I’m the one who keeps you laughing, Why am I the one you break? I still want somewhere I belong. I’m still scared to be alone. But I won’t keep calling it a pack If I can’t feel safe at home. [Outro] I close the chat; my den stays cold. No victory tonight. Just one less place I have to laugh To earn a little light. #KibaSnowpaw #ImNotYourFoxingPunchline #FurryMusic #WolfSong #EmotionalSong #HowlStrom #FriendshipSong
