Don't Make Me Laugh
You come to me with tear in eye
A wooden boy who should not cry
Do you see now more clearly
You're looking for a puppeteer
Curtains draw to show a mirror
Choosing won't be easy
How can you be so sure
I made my choice long ago
To rule the earth, king of fool's gold
Can you be even half me
How can you be so sure
What if I'm not so sure
You say you run but you're still here
Turn your head and disappear
And glisten, glisten like sulfur in the sun
Don't make me laugh
I'm the straw man in the grass
First to flame and first to ash
I'm glad you asked
Pack it light and travel fast
I'm dust in eyes of those I've passed
I know it's true
I'm the glass man you can't see through
Smallest things leave me drained and blue
Don't make me laugh
In this world of paper swords
Backlit love and zombie hordes
Connection is infection
We kings and queens of smoke and steam
Are safe inside our skin deep dreams
Hoping's only coping
How can you be so sure
To try to run would only hurt
You must decide if pain is worth
The feeling of being
How can you be so sure
What if I'm not so sure
You say you run but you're still here
Turn your head and disappear
And glisten, glisten like sulfur in the sun
Don't make me laugh
I'm the straw man in the grass
First to flame and first to ash
I'm glad you asked
Pack it light and travel fast
I'm dust in eyes of those I've passed
I know it's true
I'm the glass man you can't see through
Smallest things leave me drained and blue
Don't make me laugh
Bones are brittle
My skin is thin
Sick inside and paralyzed
No strength to fight
No voice to shout
Turn from me and just get out
Mercy is all I have
When the Saints call my name
You say you run but you're still here
Turn your head and disappear
And glisten, glisten like sulfur in the sun
Don't make me laugh
I'm the straw man in the grass
First to flame and first to ash
I'm glad you asked
Pack it light and travel fast
I'm dust in eyes of those I've passed
I know it's true
I'm the glass man you can't see through
Smallest things leave me drained and blue
Oh
A wooden boy who should not cry
Do you see now more clearly
You're looking for a puppeteer
Curtains draw to show a mirror
Choosing won't be easy
How can you be so sure
I made my choice long ago
To rule the earth, king of fool's gold
Can you be even half me
How can you be so sure
What if I'm not so sure
You say you run but you're still here
Turn your head and disappear
And glisten, glisten like sulfur in the sun
Don't make me laugh
I'm the straw man in the grass
First to flame and first to ash
I'm glad you asked
Pack it light and travel fast
I'm dust in eyes of those I've passed
I know it's true
I'm the glass man you can't see through
Smallest things leave me drained and blue
Don't make me laugh
In this world of paper swords
Backlit love and zombie hordes
Connection is infection
We kings and queens of smoke and steam
Are safe inside our skin deep dreams
Hoping's only coping
How can you be so sure
To try to run would only hurt
You must decide if pain is worth
The feeling of being
How can you be so sure
What if I'm not so sure
You say you run but you're still here
Turn your head and disappear
And glisten, glisten like sulfur in the sun
Don't make me laugh
I'm the straw man in the grass
First to flame and first to ash
I'm glad you asked
Pack it light and travel fast
I'm dust in eyes of those I've passed
I know it's true
I'm the glass man you can't see through
Smallest things leave me drained and blue
Don't make me laugh
Bones are brittle
My skin is thin
Sick inside and paralyzed
No strength to fight
No voice to shout
Turn from me and just get out
Mercy is all I have
When the Saints call my name
You say you run but you're still here
Turn your head and disappear
And glisten, glisten like sulfur in the sun
Don't make me laugh
I'm the straw man in the grass
First to flame and first to ash
I'm glad you asked
Pack it light and travel fast
I'm dust in eyes of those I've passed
I know it's true
I'm the glass man you can't see through
Smallest things leave me drained and blue
Oh
