Laughing in the Abyss

歌詞

I drew a map of my mistakes Pinned them up above the sink They drip like coffee Cold and late I nod Pretend I never think Every “what if” turns to static Every promise comes out twisted I keep joking through the panic Teeth all showing Hope long-missing (Hah) I’m laughing in the abyss Mouth wide open to the pitch-black pit If I don’t crack up I’ll crack apart So I laugh I laugh Till it breaks my heart Yeah I’m laughing in the abyss Echo comes back Sounds just like this If I don’t lose it I’ll lose me So I laugh where I can’t see I wear my fear like thrift-store clothes Threadbare hope and inside jokes Shake hands with shadows in the hall Say “Good to see you After all” Every late-night revelation Turns to dust by morning light I make punchlines out of aching Turn the terror into spite (Hey) I’m laughing in the abyss Mouth wide open to the pitch-black pit If I don’t crack up I’ll crack apart So I laugh I laugh Till it breaks my heart Yeah I’m laughing in the abyss Echo comes back Sounds just like this If I don’t lose it I’ll lose me So I laugh where I can’t see What if this is all there is? Jokes and jagged little cliffs What if I just let it hit? (Shh) I snort I snarl I call its bluff Say “Come on That all you got?” My voice shakes But I won’t stop I’m laughing in the abyss Mouth wide open to the pitch-black pit If I don’t crack up I’ll crack apart So I laugh I laugh Till it breaks my heart Yeah I’m laughing in the abyss Echo comes back Sounds just like this If I don’t lose it I’ll lose me So I laugh where I can’t see (Ha) So I laugh where I can’t see
