Tragic Ain't Funny

Tragic Ain't Funny

A Poem by Karina Longo
"

Lyrics.

"
Damaged bones and cracked muscles
Whining to survive to another worthless movement 
The bedridden pray for the miracle of routine
Don’t you go and wrap hope in false expectations
At least the TV sells the same lies 
To everybody, so openly 

Tragic ain’t funny, honey 
We all use each other like corrupt bank accounts
Tragic ain’t funny, honey
Empty wallets, break our hearts

Choose fire instead of love 
Flames and wounds straight to the point
The young and tormented freeze and stand still,
Their bodies just a piece of baby beef
Minds running a thousand miles away from survival plans
In chains and praying for the end of all that is real

Tragic ain’t funny, honey
We all use each other like bank accounts
Tragic ain’t funny, honey
Empty wallets, they break our hearts

And I don’t ever want to touch contentment again 
Blessed be the truths no one wants to tell to us
And I don’t ever want to be aware or make sense
I am married to my own solitude
Waiting for the children of monogamy, sweet monogamy 

But tragic ain’t funny, honey
We all want to live inside reversed nightmares
Tragic ain’t funny, everybody’s got a broken mind
Or a broken heart 
A broken heart

Don’t you go and wrap hope in false expectations........We all use each other like corrupt bank accounts....Flames and wounds straight to the point....In chains and praying for the end of all that is real..Empty wallets, they break our hearts.....I am married with my own solitude...Tragic ain’t funny, everybody’s got a broken mind
Or a broken heart......absolutely excellent!

I love the strong sense of reality you have in this work.
The truth you share is a beacon of light...
cast over stormy waters. The lyrics are deep and thought provocative.

Rock it Karina! These are wonderful lyrics. They speak of hard times, but I'm not left with a depressed feeling.
Look forward to hearing this over the Airwaves one fine day...
