We are human Walking traumas Left untreated Open wounds Being leeched To treat The wrong fever It is incongruous Being inoculated Against the wrong disease Vaccinated with apathy So we don’t feel The sores that bleed But you have to laugh We are mortal Not merely men Nor women More like All the things Around and in-between Searching Sub-consciously For peace Trying to sustain ourselves While losing Everyone else Crying But you have to laugh We are little boxes of flesh Lego people made to fit together Chipped Scratched Lost and found Each stress tearing at our flesh Rending our skin Like a thresher Building internal and external pressure Till we need release ****** and or emotional But you have to laugh Ready to cry Sometimes We are ready to die Till the brain twitches Till the broken switches Leave you in stiches And you see something strange Irony or absurdity Life twisted in its purity On the verge of exploding Not really knowing But something hits Something fits Presses the right button Slapstick Stupidity Intellectual curiosity Sanity flipped on its heels But you have to laugh A chortle a choking gasp The tension breaks The air whooshes past You have no control You have to laugh The world doesn’t change Much The feelings are still there But with each laugh It gets easier to bare It’s a chemical reaction With endorphins and stuff But I don’t think you care It’s just what you needed To fight off the despair So I say it again you have to laugh

You Have To Laugh
We are human Walking traumas Left untreated Open wounds Being leeched To treat The wrong fever It is incongruous Being inoculated Against the wrong disease Vaccinated with apathy So we don’t feel The sores that bleed But you have to laugh We are mortal Not merely men Nor women More like All the things Around and in-between Searching Sub-consciously For peace Trying to sustain ourselves While losing Everyone else Crying But you have to laugh We are little boxes of flesh Lego people made to fit together Chipped Scratched Lost and found Each stress tearing at our flesh Rending our skin Like a thresher Building internal and external pressure Till we need release ****** and or emotional But you have to laugh Ready to cry Sometimes We are ready to die Till the brain twitches Till the broken switches Leave you in stiches And you see something strange Irony or absurdity Life twisted in its purity On the verge of exploding Not really knowing But something hits Something fits Presses the right button Slapstick Stupidity Intellectual curiosity Sanity flipped on its heels But you have to laugh A chortle a choking gasp The tension breaks The air whooshes past You have no control You have to laugh The world doesn’t change Much The feelings are still there But with each laugh It gets easier to bare It’s a chemical reaction With endorphins and stuff But I don’t think you care It’s just what you needed To fight off the despair So I say it again you have to laugh
