Laugh About It Songtext

so claustrophobic in this place, he said managing a smile. words were spinning in his mind. the writing on the wall read life is but a joke. another key lost. a glass breaks against the wall. he knows there is no cure for what's eating him. please pinch me, he said, this lack of clarity is killing me. but all he hears them say is, laugh about it, darling. laugh about it. break free. and all he hears them say is, smile at it, darling. smile at it. now drink your milk.
she's hungry for a change. she's dying for a chance. she's a fountain when she cries. she's hanging by a thread without a safety net. she's falling down. the beggar meets the clown. they spy. what can they see with eyes so blind? it's fine, she lies. i have it all under control. but all she hears them say is, laugh about it, darling. laugh about it. break free. and all she hears them say is, smile at it, darling. smile at it. now be naïve.

we'll rise to breathe before the sun burns off the mist. believe me not. what do we care. we are not here to stay. all we hear them say is, laugh about it, darling. laugh about it. break free. and all we hear them say is, smile at it, darling. smile at it. now drink your milk.
