circus mask

Intro

Round and round the circus spins

Broken lights flicker in vacant rings

Painted faces hiding what’s beneath the skin

Waiting for the curtain to begin

Verse 1

Step right up, step inside my mind

Candy apple eyes, secrets left behind

Tightrope walkers stumbling, barely in control

Every laugh a riddle, every smile a toll

Chorus

Masks on faces, grins so wide

Laughing at the world, nowhere left to hide

Funny how the jokes cut deep inside

Payasos in the shadows, got you petrified

Post-Chorus

Ha-ha-ha, paint it red

Ha-ha-ha, fill your head

Verse 2

Silly colors, twisted shoes when I slide in

Flip the world upside down, now the madness begins

Makeup melting, secrets crawling, can you handle?

Truth stained on my hands, lightin' up another candle

Pre-Chorus

Laugh it off, they say, take the fall, they say

Underneath the smile, watch the mask decay

Chorus

Masks on faces, grins so wide

Laughing at the world, nowhere left to hide

Funny how the jokes cut deep inside

Payasos in the shadows, got you petrified

Post-Chorus

Ha-ha-ha, paint it red

Ha-ha-ha, fill your head

Bridge

Spotlight spinning, chaos blooms inside

Mirrors throwing tricks right back at my mind

Crimson confetti raining from the sky

Jesters in the rafters watching secrets fly

Breakdown

Twisted laughter, echo endless, lose the thread

Wired up illusions, tangled in what’s said

(Ha-ha-ha) Can’t escape the spiral, tangled up instead

Chorus

Masks on faces, grins so wide

Laughing at the world, nowhere left to hide

Funny how the jokes cut deep inside

Payasos in the shadows, got you petrified

Post-Chorus

Ha-ha-ha, paint it red

Ha-ha-ha, fill your head
