The Circus, The Clown

I heard your screams
Somewhere in my head I wanted to help you
But in another I wanted to hear you scream, suffer
I wanted you to feel everything I felt
Why did you make me look like a fool

You were a box of surprises
Your smile hid dark things
You hid in the dressing room
Why others couldn't know about your weaknesses

I was your clown, your puppet
You wanted an attraction that caught attention
His circus was no longer having any effect

Making bad jokes
Using minorities to create relevance
Baby don't you think you went too far?
Why is this place crazy, it looks like a madhouse
The circus, the clown, the jokes and their regrets
You are not better than me
Why if I'm the clown
The circus is mine

I heard your cry for help
I wish I could help you
But I was too busy
Rebuilding the circus
With lies, the bricks were made with your bones
I killed you in self-defense
'Cause I know you'd kill me as soon as the show ended

I was your clown, your puppet
You wanted an attraction that caught attention
His circus was no longer having any effect

Making bad jokes
Using minorities to create relevance
Baby don't you think you went too far?
Why is this place crazy, it looks like a madhouse
The circus, the clown, the jokes and their regrets
You are not better than me
Why if I'm the clown
The circus is mine

I wish I could set it all on fire
But your spirit would never leave my feet
As much as you hate me
Your circus is your favorite place
I will have empathy, something you didn't have
I'm not going to set this all on fire, but I will make your circus go bankrupt

I was your clown, your puppet
You wanted an attraction that caught attention
His circus was no longer having any effect

Making bad jokes
Using minorities to create relevance
Baby don't you think you went too far?
Why is this place crazy, it looks like a madhouse
The circus, the clown, the jokes and their regrets
You are not better than me
Why if I'm the clown
The circus is mine
