The Joke

Welcome back

I've been waiting for you

For so long

I know I was wrong

To be afraid of you

You are God

This world only tries to make you laugh

Hold you down until you're out of breath

Swore when I had my own daughter I'd let her go

I could never take a joke

But I'm starting to let go

Sunny day

Whose eyes bleed on us through the shades

Makes me behave

I'm okay, this world is a stage

You stared at me blankly

When I asked why do I feel so angry

"Someday you'll thank me"

And if you still don't get the joke

We'll tell it over (and over) again

Until you choke

Hold her close

I'm starting to let go

I'm starting to let go

I'm starting to let go

I'm starting to let go
