I Laugh in the Face of Death

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

And I laughed, I laughed, I laughed

Ever since that day, well, I guess you could say I've been this way

And though I still get sad, as long as I can laugh, it's not so 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

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 want to die, I laugh at funerals (ahh, ahh)

And meanwhile you were all thinking I'm a criminal (ahh, ahh)

'Cause when I ought to cry, I just laugh (I just laugh)

Some think it strange and even derange (hahaha)

But laughing at the darkest things makes me feel okay (makes me feel okay)

You should try it, you'll feel better that way

I laugh in the face of death, I laugh with my dying breath

I laugh when I ought to cry, I laugh when I want to die

I laugh at funerals, and meanwhile you were all (ahh)

Thinking I'm a criminal (ahh)

'Cause when I ought to cry, I just laugh

(What if you die?)

I just laugh

(Or lose an eye?)

I just laugh

(Or lose a leg?)

I'd get a peg and rest it on a pirates keg

(What if you drown?)

I just laugh

(Or fall down?)

Well then you'd laugh

(A jesters crown is where you're bound)

I'd gladly be your clown, if just laugh, just laugh, just laugh

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha uh oh
