Joking Times

[catchy long instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Joking once, it's light Twice, it's just the game Three times, they laugh But it’s never the same [Verse 2] Words lost in jest Truth hidden, suppressed You try to be real But they don’t feel the test [dark church interlude] [Chorus] When you need to be heard They’re still stuck in the fun But the weight of your word Is now lost, and it’s gone [Verse 3] The mask becomes your face You’re caught in the chase Of laughs and smiles But you’re losing your place [dark church interlude] [Verse 4] Speak out, you cry But they just pass by The truth in your eyes Is now wrapped in disguise [Chorus] When you need to be heard They’re still stuck in the fun But the weight of your word Is now lost, and it’s gone [dark church interlude] [Verse 5] The joke's on you But it’s hard to break through When the laughter’s a shield To the heart that is true [Verse 6] The serious fades In the game that you played But the moment’s now gone And you’re left in the shade [dark church interlude] [Outro] When you need to be heard They’re still stuck in the fun But the weight of your word Is now lost, and it’s gone [catchy long outro] [end]
