Lyrics

(intro)
(I'm much more funny in my head,
Than anything that I've ever said.
I feel numb inside, partly dead,
Not knowing how long I've bled.)

(Verse 1)
Hearing that I should be cheerful,
By those who do not understand,
That even if life is never dull,
That it's now a wasteland!

(Verse 2)
The ones who hold the most power,
Take all they can from whom they can.
Making others' existence a painful blur,
Like it's part of a sick master's plan!

(Chorus)
As I take dogs to the local park,
I hear soft cries from a stranger.
It's drowned out by a sudden bark,
I fear, the cry holds dangers.

(Verse 3)
I walk a circle away and back,
Where the cry was, it's now gone.
Lost in thought I went off track,
Worrying what harm it will spawn.

(verse 4)
What if that soul is lost,
In a world that does not care,
About their grief's cruel cost,
Suffering it all, unable to bear?

(Chorus)
As I take dogs from the local park,
The soft cries, no longer a stranger's.
Satisfied the dogs no longer bark.
The silence now holds my own dangers!

(Bridge)
For I know grief's powerful gravity well,
It's mirrored in this random anyone.
It's not isolated, not just my own hell.
It's not just MY world that's come undone.

(Verse 5)
I hear someone tell me to cheer up,
They told me their best dad joke.
They pause after a long buildup,
I smile, my tears refuse to be revoked.

(Verse 6)
I walk away feeling more numb than before,
Overwhelmed is not a strong enough word.
Feeling no end to horrors still in store,
Why allow a world this absurd?!

(Outro)
I wish I could find a reason to laugh,
But reality keeps my joy in check.
Grief's a stranglehold, it acts on my 'behalf'.
It's so funny, as funny as a train wreck.

That small cry may stay forever with me,
So at least maybe someone may see,
The pain that voice unknowingly shared.
Even if they never know, that someone cared.
