Title: Punchline
Artist: Black Thread Union
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I saw the setup from the cheap seats
Still walked in on cue
Held my place in the bad light
Like the room had use for truth
Timing hit like a crowbar
Right behind the eyes
I watched the ceiling start to crack
And complimented the design
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s the cue
There’s the knife
There’s the part
Where I call it life
[Chorus]
Punchline
Blood on the laugh track
I knew the bit
And still came back
Punchline
Dead right, bad sign
The joke got teeth
And I gave it mine
[Verse 2]
The funny part is I knew better
The funnier part is worse
I kept a straight face through the impact
Then rehearsed another curse
Everybody clapped for the damage
Everybody loved the reveal
I put my hand on the hot wire
Just to prove I could still feel
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s the cue
There’s the knife
There’s the part
Where I call it life
[Chorus]
Punchline
Blood on the laugh track
I knew the bit
And still came back
Punchline
Dead right, bad sign
The joke got teeth
And I gave it mine
[Bridge]
Don’t laugh yet
It gets better
The wound comes back
Speaking as me
Don’t clap yet
There’s more to see
The fall goes long
When you land on repeat
[Build]
There’s more to see
There’s more to see
There’s more to see
[Riff Break]
[Final Chorus]
Punchline
Blood on the laugh track
I knew the bit
And still came back
Punchline
Dead right, bad sign
The joke got teeth
And I gave it mine
Punchline
Bad timing, clean knife
I laughed so hard
I almost called it life
[Outro]
There’s the cue
There’s the knife
There’s the part
Where I call it—
