Trapped Inside the Circus

Verse 1

Glare from a thousand silver screens

Fake grins for the faithful

Static stares, no one believes

Sanity slipping, silent and shameful

They say "open eyes" but my vision sways

Locked in a loop, another pointless parade

Desperation—just an ordinary phrase

Shattered thoughts, the cage of this charade

Chorus

Trapped inside the circus

Trapped inside the storm

Every smile is surface

Rage beneath the scorn

Trapped inside the circus

Trapped inside the storm

They promise us purpose

But never anything more

Post-Chorus

Break me down

Break me down again

Chain me

Chain me to your sin

Verse 2

Broken vows on billboard signs

Empty words on replay

Every headline, every line

Hollow hopes betray

Drag my faith through the fractured streets

Drowned in daylight, I grit my teeth

I watch, I wait, I feel defeat

Promises rot and they call it peace

Chorus

Trapped inside the circus

Trapped inside the storm

Every smile is surface

Rage beneath the scorn

Trapped inside the circus

Trapped inside the storm

They promise us purpose

But never anything more

Post-Chorus

Break me down

Break me down again

Chain me

Chain me to your sin

Bridge

Empty echoes, empty eyes

Yesterday’s heroes, yesterday’s lies

Empty echoes, empty eyes

Every day another part of me dies

Another part of me dies

Verse 3

Chasing change through choking crowds

Voices vanish but the noise gets loud

Always running, always bound

Truth gets twisted, turned around

Chorus

Trapped inside the circus

Trapped inside the storm

Every smile is surface

Rage beneath the scorn

Trapped inside the circus

Trapped inside the storm

They promise us purpose

But never anything more

Post-Chorus

Break me down

Break me down again

Chain me

Chain me to your sin

Outro

Another part of me dies

Lock the cage, keep me inside
