Song from "Vol 3 - Breaking Point". 09 - 12 This is a continue of idea what i gave in Vol 1 and 2 Playlist. Full Playlist Vol 3 is avaliable. Enjoy ------------------------------------------------------ [Intro] Hiding the pain that’s hidden deep inside Taking the role of a comedian as my guide To cheer and entertain everyone around While everything inside screams without a sound This is the path I have chose to tread The Jester Path. [Verse 1] You’re feeling joyful, you’re feeling bright When I tell my jokes in the light I do funny things, I play the part You laugh so loud from the bottom of your heart Crying "hee-hee" while you’re having fun But inside me, the horror has won The pain and the dread are carefully veiled While I entertain you, though I have failed. [Pre-Chorus] Every smile my jokes can bring Every laugh at a funny thing Is how I hide my suffering deep While everything inside wants to weep I am the jester, the role I choose On the Jester Path, I have nothing to lose. [Chorus] For we are afraid to show what’s real The things inside we truly feel Afraid you’ll reject us and turn away So we turn inside out every day Just to bury the pain deep down below The Jester Path is the only way we go. [Verse 2] If I changed my face to my tortured soul You’d turn away and lose control You think if we’re funny, then all is fine? But that’s how we hide the broken line To not go mad, to stay in the light To not break like straw in the middle of the night Broken pieces you can’t repair To the way they were before the despair. [Bridge] Please don’t think for a moment, I pray That the one who cheers you is okay He’s not always an optimist in his head He’s wounded and tired, filled with dread Exhausted by pain and the things he’s seen That have followed him where he’s been. [Chorus] If you saw the jester’s soul so true It would feel uneasy and wrong to you But don’t be afraid, don’t push away The Jester Path can change today Accept him for who he is inside Give him back the faith, with nowhere to hide. [Outro] If the jester heals, the soul will bloom But the joy and fun will still have room He will continue to play and to cheer But with a soul that is clean and clear Letting go of everything he kept within To show his humanity, beneath the skin To show the human he’s been all this time Behind the mask and the jester’s rhyme.
