Sick sense of honor

Verse 1

They say the world is tragic I say it’s stand-up comedy

You act like you’re allergic to a little bit of oddity

I’m scratching at the walls just to find a hidden door

Rationality is boring I don’t want it anymore

You offer me a lifeline you offer me a cure

But sanity is something that I never could endure

I’m checking out of rehab for the quiet and the kind

Because I’m the only one who sees the gag inside my mind

Chorus

I’m sick of silence give me the violence

I love the way it hurts when the curtain finally falls

I miss the panic of being manic

I’d rather burn it down than stare at empty walls

You say I’m broken say I’m choking

But I’m just laughing while the city starts to smoke

I don’t want to be saved

I just want to be the joke

Verse 2

Does it look like I am weeping does it look like I’m afraid

I’m sharpening the edges of the mess that we have made

One bad day is all it takes to turn the screws around

I build a castle in the sky just to burn it to the ground

So spare me all the pity and the psychological profile

I’m putting on the paint and I’m stretching out the smile

You thrive on order but I thrive on the decay

I’m the punchline that isn’t ever gonna go away

Chorus

I’m sick of silence give me the violence

I love the way it hurts when the curtain finally falls

I miss the panic of being manic

I’d rather burn it down than stare at empty walls

You say I’m broken say I’m choking

But I’m just laughing while the city starts to smoke

I don’t want to be saved

I just want to be the joke

Bridge

Why so serious when you could be delirious

The gravity you hold onto is pulling you apart

I’m tearing out the pages and I’m stopping every heart

It’s funny when you scream it’s hilarious to bleed

The misery you hate is the oxygen I need

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I’m sick of silence give me the violence

I love the way it hurts when the curtain finally falls

I miss the panic of being manic

I’d rather burn it down than stare at empty walls

You say I’m broken say I’m choking

But I’m just laughing while the city starts to smoke

I don’t want to be saved

I just want to be the joke

Outro

Yeah I’m the joke

Get the punchline

Laugh with me

Or laugh at me

I don’t care

As long as it hurts
