Beneath All This Life | Nothing But A Comedy | Joker - Unofficial Soundtrack

During a session with his social worker, Arthur laughs uncontrollably, even though he is not happy inside, but the therapist seems uninterested and uninvolved. This song is about the emotional disconnect between outward appearances and inner struggles.

My album "Nothing But A Comedy" consists of twelve songs that deal with the events from the film "Joker". You could think of it as an unofficial soundtrack.

I wrote the lyrics and used an app to turn my lyrics into a real song.

You can find the lyrics here:

In a room filled with shadows, I sit in my chair,
A smile painted on my face, but it’s just thin air.
My heart is a river, deep and full of pain,
Yet the laughter spills out like an unbroken chain.

I’m wearing this mask, but the truth's hidden deep,
Every chuckle that escapes feels like a promise I keep.
But you’re staring at me like you don’t even see,
The storm raging inside, oh why can’t you feel me?

Oh, laugh for the world while I'm drowning inside,
Each giggle’s a whisper of tears I can’t hide.
It’s tragic and twisted how joy’s turned to strife -
Can’t you hear my silence beneath all this life?

You scribble your notes as I try to explain,
How this laughter feels heavy - it cuts like the rain.
Words slip through my fingers like sand on the shore,
You nod and look past me; do you even want more?

I reach out for comfort; I’m lost in this haze,
But your eyes are distant - am I just a phase?
This humor’s my armor; it shields me from fear -
Yet every soft chuckle echoes loud in my ear.

Oh, laugh for the world while I'm drowning inside,
Each giggle’s a whisper of tears I can’t hide.
It’s tragic and twisted how joy's turned to strife -
Can’t you hear my silence beneath all this life?

In these moments we share where connection should grow,
I wish you could feel what I've come here to show.
With each hollow laugh that escapes from my lips -
It's a cry for understanding that lingers and slips.

Oh, laugh for the world while I'm drowning inside,
Each giggle’s a whisper of tears I can’t hide.
It’s tragic and twisted how joy's turned to strife -
Can’t you hear my silence beneath all this life?

So here in this space where no solace is found,
I’ll keep laughing alone with no one around.
If only you'd listen beyond what you see,
You’d discover the laughter is just part of me…
