[Intro]  
Rolling through the haze, lost in my thoughts,  
Blunt in hand, searching for what I've sought.  
Life's a riddle with a fleeting breath,  
Wondering if we live just to dance with death.
[Verse 1]  
Streets are whispering tales of despair,  
Friends turn to demons in the midnight air.  
Love, once a flame, now a flickering ghost,  
Chasing shadows of what mattered most.
[Pre-Chorus]  
The madness grows, it grips my mind,  
Put a smile on my face, but I'm still confined.  
Counting the moments, drinking my pain,  
Laughing through tears as I dance in the rain.
[Chorus]  
Why so serious? That's the way life goes,  
Living for the highs, escaping the lows.  
In this carnival of hearts, we're all just fools,  
Juggling our dreams, trying to break the rules.
[Verse 2]  
Searching for purpose, in ashes and smoke,  
Life's a twisted joke, will I ever choke?  
Echoes of laughter, calls of the night,  
Fading to black, in the absence of light.
[Pre-Chorus]  
But I’ll keep smiling, I’ll wear this mask,  
Dancing through shadows, never afraid to ask.  
When the silence calls, and the thunder roars,  
I’ll hold on tight as the world implores.
[Chorus]  
Why so serious? That's the way life goes,  
Navigating storms that nobody knows.

In this clown's parade, hiding our woes,  
Searching for laughter as the darkness grows.
[Bridge]  
With every heartbeat, I rubberband,  
Stretching my fate in this lonesome land.  
Awake in the chaos, dreaming in vain,  
Waving goodbye to the joy and the pain.
[Outro]  
Rolling with a blunt, under the stars so bright,  
Searching for purpose, let me live this night.  
In a world so serious, I’ll take my stand,  
Laughing with the shadows, I can face what’s planned.
