Fourth Wall

Verse 1

I wake up with a bullet hole

And somehow that's not even new

There's probably a joke here somewhere

But hell, I'm tired of making you laugh too

I got two swords and a mouth too loud

A red suit and a fucked-up grin

Everybody thinks I'm fearless

They don't know what's underneath the skin

Pre-Chorus

So cue the music, roll the scene

Pretend you know what all this means

I'll crack a joke, I'll play along

'Cause if I stop talking, something's wrong

Chorus

I'm breaking the fourth wall

Just to keep from breaking down

I'll laugh until the whole damn room

Can't hear the cracks beneath the sound

Call me crazy, call me scarred

Call me anything you want

I'll keep dancing through the fire

'Cause apparently I can't fucking stop

Verse 2

I've died enough to know the drill

Wake up, heal, get back to work

Apparently immortality

Doesn't mean you don't still hurt

I've got a girl I love like crazy

And a past I can't outrun

So I turn trauma into punchlines

And pretend that shit is fun

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, cue the music, dim the lights

I've got another joke tonight

Don't ask me what's behind the grin

You really don't wanna look within

Chorus

I'm breaking the fourth wall

Just to keep from breaking down

I'll laugh until the whole damn room

Can't hear the cracks beneath the sound

Call me crazy, call me scarred

Call me anything you want

I'll keep dancing through the fire

'Cause apparently I can't fucking stop

Bridge

Maybe I'm not the hero

Maybe I'm barely holding on

Maybe every stupid joke I make

Is just another way to carry on

So if you're watching from the cheap seats

Yeah, I know you're fucking there

Don't look away when the mask comes off

Just don't expect me to cut my hair

Final Chorus

I'm breaking the fourth wall

But I'm still standing here

With every scar and every bad joke

And every goddamn wasted year

Call me broken, call me loud

Call me whatever makes you smile

I'll keep laughing through the darkness

Just to make it worth your while

Outro

And if this song starts getting serious...

Yeah, we're gonna have to cut that shit.

Roll credits.

Wait.

Who the hell is controlling the music?
