What Are They Laughing At? is the fresh new "B - Side" single from The 228's second album, coming soon!
lyrics
What are they laughing at?
There's nothing funny here.
What are they laughing at?
The answer seems quite clear...
Although the space is gone,
And all the time is near.
And all the weariness,
is open... its open.
What are they crying at?
There's nothing left to fear.
What are they crying at?
The answers are the tears...
Although the space is gone,
And all the time is near.
And all the weariness,
is open... its open.
And in this time spent contemplating,
I find it all just complicating me...
And when this world is simply hating,
I know you're out there somewhere...
waiting for me.
What are they yelling at?
There's nothing left to hear.
What are they yelling at?
The answer seems unclear.
Although the face is lost,
The words don't disappear.
and all the ugliness,
is open... It's open.
And in this time spent contemplating,
I find it all just complicating me...
And when this world is simply hating,
I know you're out there somewhere...
waiting for me.
And when I'm home,
I'm all alone...
From myself I can't hide.
These times when I'm falling,
I hear your voice calling...
For me to be by your side.
Together we'll swim,
Right over the rim,
Of the makeup that hides up your eyes...
A little Visine,
to wipe yourself clean,
and your eyes are as white as your lies.
Ohhhh Ahhh
And in this time spent contemplating,
I find it all just complicating me...
And when this world is simply hating,
I know you're out there somewhere...
waiting for me.
And in this time spent contemplating,
I find it all just complicating me...
And when this world is simply hating,
I know you're out there somewhere...
waiting for me.
