Laughing In My Room Lyrics

In the moments of clarity

Building piles of inadequacy

So high that I cannot see

All the beauty that the clearness brings

Sunlight, it's been days

Sweet dreams, no such thing

Hungering for the cloud that fogs my gaze

Oh, this world is cruel

But I'm laughing in my room

As it slips out from my view

Until I decide that I'm through

Looking ahead and behind, I'm two-faced

Stop me at night, but not the day

Clear sky looms and from the path I stray

It's a turn I know so well along the way

I'm on the edge, I'm on the brink

Seems I've been born just to think

Hungering for the cloud that fogs my gaze

Oh, this world is cruel

But I'm laughing in my room

As it slips out from my view

Until I decide that I'm through

Sometimes I look and I'm surprised

To see you content, I wonder why

How long can you stand by the side

Of a man who does nothing but hide

Playing life like it's a game

Treating your love just the same

Hungering for the cloud that fogs my gaze

Oh, this world is cruel

But I'm laughing in my room

As it slips out from my view

Until I decide that I'm through
