Fun And Games

[Verse 1]
Cheap laughs in the parking lot
Flip a coin
Dare you to cross that line
Rust nails in a coffee can
You say “relax
We’re doin’ fine”
Smoke burns in my tired eyes
Spray paint on the neighbor’s wall
You carve jokes in your leather sleeve
One more shove and we both might fall
[Chorus]
It’s all fun and games
’Til someone loses an eye
You keep pushing that edge
’Til the world goes dark on one side
You said “lighten up”
You were laughing while I cried
It’s all fun and games
’Til someone loses an eye
[Verse 2]
Glass grin on the kitchen floor
You’re waving that bottle like a flag
“Can’t you take a joke?” you spit
As the laughter twists and sags
Red blooms on a paper towel
Staring at the sink
Both hands numb
You still film it on your phone
Say you’ll post it when it’s “fun”
[Chorus]
It’s all fun and games
’Til someone loses an eye
You keep pushing that edge
’Til the world goes dark on one side
You said “lighten up”
You were laughing while I cried
It’s all fun and games
’Til someone loses an eye
[Bridge]
Are you smiling now?
Can you see what you’ve done?
I count the stitches
You still count it as “fun”
[Chorus]
It’s all fun and games
’Til someone loses an eye
You keep pushing that edge
’Til the world goes dark on one side
You said “lighten up”
Now your punchline’s running dry
It’s all fun and games
’Til someone loses an eye

rock, Crushing dark grunge metal with drop-tuned guitars, male vocals snarling in the verses and roaring in the hook; tom-heavy drums and gritty bass drive mid-tempo stomps. Verses stay tight and tense, palm-muted riffs and eerie feedback; chorus explodes with wide power chords, gang shouts, and a dissonant lead line on top. Bridge slows into a half-time, sludge-soaked breakdown with shouted call-and-response before the final hook., grunge, metal
