Laugh Under the Mask

[Intro]
Click of a latch
Door breath, black
Smile stitched back
(you ready?)
[Verse 1]
I sharpen my jokes like a blade in the sink
Red on the tiles, you laugh when you blink
Hearts in a jar, I label ’em “friends”
You say it’s a bit, I play it again (ha!)
Two tickets, one ride in the back
You bring the snacks, I bring the sack
You post your fit, I post the threat
You call it a skit, I call it a bet
[Chorus]
Laugh under the mask, can’t tell if I’m playin’ (hey!)
Teeth all chrome but the punchline’s sprayin’
You scream, I wheeze, we both stop breathin’
Comedy cut with the cut that’s bleedin’
Laugh under the mask, who’s scared, who’s smilin’?
Jokes so sick, every heartbeat’s dialin’
You clap, I crack, the room starts leanin’
Laugh under the mask, never know my meanin’
[Verse 2]
She kiss on the scars like she testin’ the edge
Talk sweet while she pushin’ me over the ledge
Pink nails on my throat say “I’m just teasin’”
But the grip don’t slip, and my lungs stop wheezin’
She giggle in court, say “I write horror”
Judge takes notes, I just take orders
We duet in blood, that’s couple’s therapy
She rhyme “kill” with “cute,” that’s her parody (ooh)
[Chorus]
Laugh under the mask, can’t tell if I’m playin’
Teeth all chrome but the punchline’s sprayin’
You scream, I wheeze, we both stop breathin’
Comedy cut with the cut that’s bleedin’
Laugh under the mask, who’s scared, who’s smilin’?
Jokes so sick, every heartbeat’s dialin’
You clap, I crack, the room starts leanin’
Laugh under the mask, never know my meanin’
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to distant hum, whispered back-and-forth]
“I was jokin’”
“Were you though?”
“Say the safe word”
“Say it slow”
If I say “stop”
Will you hear me?
If you say “laugh”
Will it kill me?
[Chorus]
Laugh under the mask, can’t tell if I’m playin’
Teeth all chrome but the punchline’s sprayin’
You scream, I wheeze, we both stop breathin’
Comedy cut with the cut that’s bleedin’
Laugh under the mask, who’s scared, who’s smilin’?
Jokes so sick, every heartbeat’s dialin’
You clap, I crack, the room starts leanin’
Laugh under the mask, never know my meanin’
