Circus Sword

Laugh it off Grass is getting greener Sorry if I seem to be a wee bit meaner Never meant any harm Guess I'm just looking for the right kind of warm Funny how the world kinda takes what you found Flopping it around like a fish on the ground Holding on never been the easy way But hey Never had a thing to say Rather be a toad in the grass than a leach Burping up water with the worms at the beach On the road that I read about No doubts everything in reach Smell the leaves and the trees Find a little dirt and dig around with your feet Don't sleep puff until you sneeze Tell me could I be what you need Waking up on the shady side Feeling bitter at the sunshine Maybe I could walk in the dark Find a little corner in my favorite park Watching all the eyes in the light Shudder as the butter melts into a big fight It's ok walk away with your pride Guess I've never really been that kind of guy Jump jump jump jump jump time to grow Jump until you drop all of your snot out your nose Jump until you jump a little higher than your foes When you fall that's the way it goes Can't tell if I should talk anymore Swallow all the words like a circus sword There's a saying that I heard before Shut it all inside like an alligator Could I be happy that I'm happy even though I know you're not Sorry if I lost a little bit of what I thought I was or what I guessed I could have been Guess I wish I still could be so young and free of rot Wind is in my hair and in my sails and in my mouth Wish I knew a way to know what I'm talking about Still inside a world I never figured out I'm scarred but full of doubt So smile when I see the other people on the train Smile when I know that I am ready for the rain Smile at the losers and winners and the rest Smile like I'm happy even if I am depressed Pick another line in the sand Dance around the edge like a burning man Stick a toe across just to watch it burn Maybe I should let it burn
