[Verse 1]
I make a joke at the funeral
You choke on your polite smile
I’m drawing cartoons in the ashes
Been like this a long while
[Pre-Chorus]
You clutch your pearls
I clutch my sides
If I don’t laugh
Then something dies
[Chorus]
My dark humor
Keeps me breathing
Yeah it’s ugly
But it’s healing
If you’re scared of how I cope
You can laugh or let me go
Don’t judge the way I stay alive
My dark humor
Is how I survive
[Verse 2]
I turn my scars into punchlines
You flinch at every word
You see a line
I see a lifeline
Twisted
Loud
And blurred
[Pre-Chorus]
You shake your head
I shake the room
If I don’t laugh
It’s all doom
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You think I’m heartless
I’m just hurting
If I don’t mock it
It keeps burning
I make it smaller
With every roast
If you can’t handle it
You’re not my ghost
[Chorus]
