The Cosmic Joke

A daydreaming look on my face
Pretending to float in space
Without any form of tether
Emotional or otherwise, the freedom feels better
Is there any strife
That won't be solved by the afterlife?
The Eternal Fix, we can assume
If time heals every wound
Then it'll all be over soon
The best jokes are always morbid
Making fun of the distorted
The darkness loses it's teeth
When I laugh directly at it, pressed under my feet
Comedy's a gift
Forever in the present when we riff
If there's no more than this
The Cosmic Joke sure hits
Come on, that's hilarious
Thinking back over your life
Questioning if you've done right
Some people they rarely change
I highly doubt you're one of them, you're curious, you're brave
You have been abused
Now you are set loose
You bite your tongue and cheek
Because you were told not to speak
But you need to be released
