I've got to allow myself some time alone
Because otherwise it cuts down to bone
I know I've got reasons
To feel some shame
But I no longer do
I'm not the same
It's a lot of good people
It's a lot of good people
It's a lot of good people
Who don't understand
It's cold in the dead of night
I've got to allow myself some room to grow
I've got to calm on down, or else kill my flow
We're missing some seasons
It's just like rain
When it should be snow
It's not the same
It's a lot of good people
It's a lot of good people
It's a lot of good people
Who don't understand
It's cold in the dead of night
It's a lot of good people
It's a lot of good people
It's a lot of good people
Who don't understand
It's just cold in the dead of night

In reality
There's nothing much more sad than drinking
To have to so slowly topple my temple to earth
The thought of facing your quieting eyes sober
Makes for too hard a world when my body's made of thin glass
Comedy must be violent
We have to learn to laugh
In reality
Laughter is always a guardrail
Where fear wants you standing at least 50 yards from the edge
To understand fear, we all must look deep in the valley
Or evil will reach down inside you, and pull itself out
Comedy must be violent
We have to learn to laugh
We have to learn to laugh
Isn't that sad?
In reality
Holding the door for your neighbor
Won't gain you more favor than stealing their internet
The patience to tolerate blatant inconsideration
Makes for too long a life, when we've just got time for the one
Comedy must be violent
We have to learn to laugh
We have to learn to laugh
We have to learn to laugh
We have to learn to laugh
Isn't that sad?
