🌼☀️🎶 NDC BINGO🎶☀️🌼 [Intro] Step right up... or don’t. The show begins inside my.. [Verse 1] The tent was pitched behind my eyes With velvet thoughts and sawdust lies The ringmaster’s a voice I know He cracks the whip, I never go The lions dance, the clowns recite My childhood fears each Friday night And when I try to leave the ring The trapeze swings but clips my wings [Chorus] The circus is in my head! (No exits, no encore) Painted smiles and whispered dread (The tiger sleeps beneath the floor) The circus is in my head! (And every act's a mirror) The audience has all gone dead — But their laughter's getting clearer [Verse 2] The bearded lady sings my sins The juggler drops my medicine The contortionist bends like my thoughts In shapes the doctor said I’d lost The cannon fires each time I sleep The strongman sobs and grinds his teeth The monkeys wear my mother's face Applauding from a velvet case [Bridge] “You’re fine,” they said. “You’re safe,” they swore. Then why do I hear hoofbeats at the door? The popcorn's made of pills I missed — And every mime just blew me a kiss. [Breakdown] I laughed so hard, I bit my tongue. I bled confetti. [Final Chorus] The circus is in my head… (And now I own the tent) I spin the plates of dreams you dread With every scream you never sent The circus is in my head! (And you’re already in line) So buy your ticket, take your meds — And leave your reason at the sign
