Scream into the Ether

Embrace despair And laugh in its face An old friend, and old mockery Why bother giving thought To just another burden Another fact of life

Carry on A lyric of being broken Sung to the tune of joy Words of hopelessness Screamed in pitchy voices To upbeat rhythms

Tears of pain Joins laughter Trying not to drown in it all While at the same time wobbling between apathy

Is it a burden if it's just a fact of life? Doesn't matter really Scream it all out And carry on What else is there to do
