LAUGHTER

[Verse 1]
She locked and loaded, and then
Fired away, eyes open
Right at the mirror, intent
To ricochet at a slant
Demise impending, penchant
For martyrdom, sycophant
Twelve months since 9 to an end
Look at the time, is it 10?
I guess I'll get out of bed
Make sure all the rats are fed
Betta fish all cap-sigh-Zedd
And hamster wheels turn bright red
But nobody ever said
That nobody ever cared
So it's a chore to be sad
And it's a bore to be dad

[Chorus]
I heard the laughter of a machine gun
Followed by the raucous undercurrent indignation
Cackling at me, shooting the speed of
A flash blizzard, unburying the vexation

[Verse 2]
I know that I'm in no danger so why should I
Tell you that you're being range fed at long range?
Like a lamb to slaughter, I'm game
I know you're putty in my hands, a daughter
Is nothing without a deadbeat father
Just use the crying to drown out the laughter
Eight arms still more terrifying than murder
In my own backyard, by my own detractor

[Chorus]
I heard the laughter of a machine gun
Followed by the raucous undercurrent indignation
Cackling at me, shooting the speed of
A flash blizzard, unburying the vexation
I heard the laughter of a machine gun
Followed by the raucous undercurrent indignation
Cackling at me, shooting the speed of
A flash blizzard, unburying the vexation
