Tragicomedy

I've been hallucinating Colliding with parked cars A meteor assailing Our afternoon in the backyard Bombs in the air Alarms and flares Become perfunctory Cuz when the world's at war What's another tragedy? I've been having dreams Running for my life with glee Ain't Freud's psychology It's just the life we lead The sun still shines In our bloodshot eyes We laugh as the gas leaks When the world does slapstick That's just good comedy I'm learning the scene Watching harnessed angels meeting gravity Not knowing which mask is meant for me When the world presents tragicomedy A man from the TV Will have his way with us Partisan autopsies Now ain't that just too much? Our parts weren't meant To be so twisted But God is on a spree Staging all our flaws From the director's seat I've painted my cheeks I'm dancing for the angles as they bleed How the hell are we supposed to proceed When the world presents tragicomedy?
