[Verse 1]
If you're reading this, I'm likely dead
Congrats, congrats, words through my paper head
I get your back, blood on the kitchen floor
Matter of fact, white knuckles on my door
The thunder and lightning
[Pre-Chorus 1]
On the bright side, you did your best
The story of your life will be your death
I'm on the outside, just looking in
What does it look like? start it again
[Chorus 1]
All jokes aside, I'll start over again
With the meaning of life, well, the meaning's irrelevant
So put all jokes aside, you can't have your command
[Bridge]
Hollywood, hide in your covers in space
Are you fine or are you floating away?
[Verse 2]
So if you're reading this do what it says
Swallow it back, everything that you read
The skull is cracked, blood on the kitchen floor
Matter of fact, white knuckles on my door
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm on the outside, just looking in
What does it look like? start it again
Pick up the glistening, the telephone
Nobody listening, nobody home
The permanent sigh, your pretty skin
Hey, I'm on your side, I've always been
Just on the outside, just looking in (x2)
[Chorus 2]
All jokes aside, I'll start over again
With a permanent sigh till the meaning's impermanent
All jokes aside, you can't have your command
With a permanent sigh till the sighs are irrelevant
All jokes aside, I'll start over again
With the meaning of life, are the words so irrelevant?
All jokes aside, all jokes aside (x2)
[Outro]
All jokes aside, I'll start over again
With the meaning of life till the words are irrelevant
All jokes aside, I'll start over again
With a permanent sigh till the meaning's impermanent
All jokes aside, you can't have your command
With a permanent sigh till the sighs are irrelevant
