Nobody's Laughing

Heavy is the irony of paying close attention Better to not anticipate the blow These nights I cry I'd rather die than face an intervention Fragile is the devil that I know Oh, it's a funny thing What will the future bring? I look around but nobody's laughing All the things you fear the most won't summon that unholy ghost It's only when you're getting close to letting go There's structure in the emptiness There's dignity in loneliness And comfort in the devil That I know Oh it's a funny thing What will the future bring? I look around but nobody's laughing If only I could close the door on what I didn't know before But it's over and I can't let it off Oh it's a funny thing What will the future bring? I look around but nobody's laughing
