Laugh
I was a child once upon a time,
Where laughing didn't cost a dime,
But it really got me thinking,
The time when I was drinking,
Trying to forget my worries by watching television,
Yeah it's been a while now,
Maybe I've figured out how,
To remain unfazed without bareing my heart out,

Maybe crying out doesn't work but it's fine,
Maybe a dish served beautiful would make the taste seem alright,

But did you notice that fine line?
Where my laugh was loud yet light,
Where it didn't have the reason why,
To turn so heavy with my silent cries,

Did you ever notice my eyes when I,
Smile away those sorrows of mine?
And settle down in these laughs of mine,
Those screams of pain and cries to fly,

But maybe it's just me,
Maybe no one would ever know or notice,
And my laugh might forever remain,
The echos of the bloodied pits inside my soul...
