I Laugh in the Face of Death

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was just a child When I got this scar And all the while I was not prepared For a world so cruel I was so scared It only got worse Every day I lived Felt like a curse Then one day I just broke And in my despair I made a joke [Bridge] And I laughed I laughed, I laughed [Verse 2] Ever since that day Well I guess you can say I've been this way And though I still get sad As long as I can laugh Its not that bad When you learn to look your demons In the eyes and smile You'll find your deepest, darkest fears Lose power for a while [Chorus] And you'll laugh You'll laugh I laugh in the face of death I laugh with my dying breath I laugh when I ought to cry I laugh when I wanna die I laugh at funerals And meanwhile, you are all Thinking I'm a criminal 'Cause when I ought to cry I just laugh [Verse 3] Something gets strange And even deranged (hahaha) Laughing at the darkest things Makes me feel okay You should try it You'll feel better that way [Chorus] I laugh in the face of death I laugh with my dying breath I laugh when I ought to cry I laugh when I wanna die I laugh at funerals And meanwhile, you are all Thinking I'm a criminal 'Cause when I ought to cry I just laugh [Verse 4] (What If you died?) I'd just laugh! (Or lose an eye?) I'd just laugh! (Or lose a leg?) I'd get a peg And rest it on a pirate's keg (What if you drowned?) I'd just laugh (Or fall down?) Well then you'd laugh (A jester's crown is where you're bound) I'd gladly be your clown If you just laugh Just laugh, Just laugh [Outro] (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (Uh-oh)
