🖤 Pre-save 'So Cold' now. Coming July 3rd. 👇 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mai... Let’s freeze time together. ❄️ Mai Darkwave - What makes you laugh? (Official Audio) Album: Inexplicable Faces "Maybe some hearts grow in the quiet dark..." "What Makes You Laugh?" is a journey through isolation, an anatomy of a smile that was lost and found in the most unexpected places. It explores the heavy silence of not understanding the world's joy, and the fragile, beautiful moment where a cartoon spark heals the ache in the quiet dark. LYRICS She never learned to laugh Not the easy kind No one taught her how When the world was unkind Now she tries it out Like a word she lost And it sounds so small Like it came at a cost She looks at their faces When the room goes bright Everybody breaks Like they know the right But she just stands there With her hands still low Wondering what they feel That she does not know What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? She asks the air What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? She wants to care (What makes you laugh?) (What makes you laugh?) Some nights she turns on the TV Watches cartoons Color on the walls And a balloon full of tunes A silly little voice A stumble, a fall Then a smile appears Soft as rain on glass And that is enough For the ache to sleep Just a tiny curve At the edge of deep She holds that moment Like a secret flame Not a joke, not joy But it knows her name What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? She asks the air What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? She wants to care (What makes you laugh?) (What makes you laugh?) Maybe some hearts grow In the quiet dark Maybe some are healed By a cartoon spark No reason at all Still a reason stays A little smile can live And it lights her days What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? She asks the air What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? She wants to care What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? A smile comes through What makes you laugh? What makes you laugh? And that is true (What makes you laugh?) (What makes you laugh?)
