Devil With a Microphone

You want reason? Here’s absurdity

Makes a better joke

High treason for your sanity

What a fire to stoke

When the collective cry of a million homes is like a dark arpeggio of semitones

Tent’s full but I’m all alone with enough confetti to choke

I said

Wait I’m not ready

I didn’t get the memo we’re a circus now

I said

Wait I’m unsteady

I didn’t even noticed that we turned to clowns

You want laughter? Here’s the worst of us

Makes for darker streets

What’s after? It’s nefarious where the dealer cheats

When a dark arpeggio of semitones is like a factory line of regressive clones

Outside there’s a broken road where the mad and the evil meet

I said…

I didn’t get the memo it’s a nightmare now

I didn’t even notice that we burned the ground

No sudden moves

Easy where you can

I heard the hooves

I’ve only got one plan…

Keep smiling till you make it home

I just saw The Devil with a microphone so keep smiling till you make it home tonight
