[spoken word] Hurry hurry! Step right up and witness the show! [Verse] The show goes on Every day's a new act Smiling bright But it's just a front In fact I'm the clown with makeup Hiding all my fears But underneath it all There's a flood of tears Every line I sing is a cry for help But they're dancing to the beat Can't you tell? I'm the master of disguise Living in this lie But deep down inside I'm just asking why [Verse 2] It's a circus Yeah And I'm the main attraction Always putting on a show But it's a fraction Of what's really going on inside my mind I'm pretending to be happy But I'm falling behind Welcome to my Circus act Where every smile is abstract [Verse] Here I am, Smiling wide I am the life of the show! Beneath the surface Nobody knows! Well past the spotlight My shadow only grows Hiding my self spite And secret criticize Acting all lively Just a charade Inside I'm crumbling Putting on a show every day Behind the mask It's nothing like I conveyed [Verse 2] It's a circus Yeah And I'm the main attraction Always putting on a show But it's a fraction Of what's really going on inside my mind I'm pretending to be happy But I'm falling behind Welcome to my Circus act Where every smile is abstract [instrumental] [solo] [instrumental] [Final Chorus] It's a circus Yeah And I'm the main attraction Always putting on a show But it's a fraction Of what's really going on inside my mind I'm pretending to be happy But I'm falling behind Welcome to my Circus act Where every smile is abstract! [instrumental] And I'm the main attraction [fade] [end]
