The Circus (Fake Smiles)

Welcome to this cage The show begins Smiling faces, with a cheering crowd But behind the curtain, we are screaming We are loud Welcome to the circus Welcome to the show Some days I'm the trapeze artist, trying not to fall Some days I'm the clown, wearing a fake smile Carrying a bittersweet heart People walk around Wearing masks and a disguise They will try to hide behind their painted lies Juggling with your heart, wearing a fake smile Carrying a bittersweet heart Welcome to the circus Welcome to the show Some days I'm the trapeze artist, trying not to fall Some days I'm the clown, wearing a fake smile Carrying a bittersweet heart Trapped in this cage, and I'm trying to escape Longing for freedom, but afraid to break away I don't need your expectations, of the endless show I've made Welcome to this cage, no, help me Welcome to the show While we are all dancing, I'll break out of the mold We all live in our own circus And your story should be untold Feeling chopped Welcome to the circus Welcome to the show Maybe I'll rewrite it, with the life I choose to give Less of that, the clown act More of the daring leap Find the joy in your journey Instead of counting sheeps
