No Time

Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Surrounding me Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Surrounding me Nervous laughter Nervous laughter It's a pressing silence Depressing silence In which the words resonate Like bare fists bashing the gates My bare fists embrace the bricks My bare fists embrace the bricks The streets bleed But the city still stands The city still stands It looks familiar but I can't remember It looks familiar but I can't remember They are still feeling good And at least the food is fine But I'm sick of the dust on their words So I just cough and smile So they keep quiet And I repeat myself This speech is a performance I repeat myself Behind the words is chaos I repeat after someone else I repeat after everyone else It sounds familiar, but I can't remember It sounds familiar, but I can't remember They are still feeling good And at least the food is fine But I'm sick of the dust on my words So I just cough and smile Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter Nervous laughter
