The Circus

Ladies and gentlemen come, come and see
A freak stuck behind bars
They’re laughing at me
I'm the main attraction
I'm naked and weak
An object to play with
In a state of bliss, (for your love)

My thoughts betray me
They’re acting like monsters
I don’t like it here
Fighting for approval's
A burden to me
So tell me, if I stay
Will you help me, babe?
'Cause I'm 'bout to run!

Tell them I'm leaving
At midnight, I'll finally be brilliant
The curtain will fall then revealing
Who they truly are
Will tear them apart
I know they all say that I'm just dreaming
So please, go tell them to start grieving
I'll turn the tables so we're even
If they truly want me a villain
Then so be it
So be it!

They say I'm a mess
They’re masters of mind games
Am I seen as prey?
I’d just kill off every single one of them
They’re clapping and laughing
While my life is crumbling
(And I know, I should go)
But I want them to suffer
I want them to cry
I want them to feel what I felt right inside
To tell you my story
The picture’s alive
Will you show them, hey
'Cause I'm 'bout to run

Tell them I'm leaving
At midnight, I’ll finally be brilliant
The curtain will fall then revealing
Who they truly are
Will tear them apart
I know they all say I'm the villain

Inside these walls
Inside these walls
Just don't mess with me
Just don't mess with me
Just don't mess with me

Tell them I'm leaving
At midnight, I’ll finally be brilliant
The curtain will fall then revealing
Who they truly are
Will tear them apart
I know they all say that I'm just dreaming
So please, go tell them to start breathing
I’ll turn the tables so we’re even
If they truly want me a villain
Then so be it
So be it!
