No One is Laughing Now — Music and Lyrics by Dead Johnny
Sheriff found her on the side of route 35, Old couple called it when they drove by, Found her body frozen as she slept, With no home to go, she stopped there for a rest. I can’t stop thinking, contemplating, Around our neck life's noose is tightening, It’s terrifying at best, traumatic at worse, To take away a life and offer nothing in return. I couldn’t bear the weight of her declination, The fists and frothing mouth of her affliction, Love turned to resentment and it turned to hate, Tried so hard but no approach could mitigate. Sorry that I laughed as you turned maniacal, All you can do is laugh after the last tear falls, You needed help but your illness couldn’t see, Frozen on the side of the road to your destiny. No one is laughing now.
