[Intro] [faint distant laughter, slowed and warped, tape hiss] [applause fades into low hum] [Verse 1] They laughed before you fell They knew the timing well They waited just long enough To make the damage sell Still smiling Still in frame They clap louder Say it again [Pre-Chorus] You don’t hear it It surrounds you In the walls In the floor [Chorus] This is a laugh track funeral No silence allowed Bodies rot under stage lights While the crowd stays loud You call this entertainment You call this a show You stay right where you’re sitting You won’t let it go [Verse 2] Crowd locked in Lights stay on You stay useful Till you’re gone Every joke lands like a crime Every laugh keeps perfect time No one leaves No one moves They’re not done with you [Pre-Chorus] Hands together Mouths open They won’t stop They don’t need to [Chorus] This is a laugh track funeral No silence allowed Bodies rot under stage lights While the crowd stays loud You call this entertainment You call this a show You stay right where you’re sitting You won’t let it go [Bridge] They don’t need blood They don’t need screams They clap with excitement At broken things They call it love They call it joy They bury you Like a disposable toy [Breakdown] Clap Clap Clap [silence] [applause] [pause] [Final Chorus] This is a laugh track funeral No silence allowed This is a laugh track funeral They are still proud [Outro] [laughter loops, degrading] [applause slows, distorts]
