Circus
SandMarx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Changing sheets will not help
As they'll get soaked through too in a minute
Your soft skin is burning up while inside your frozen heart
Is shivering but working hard to keep you going
With every beat of blood still running hot
From the song playing over and over
It's just a dream but it feels so real
That you can't tell the difference
You're going insane and will feel this way
Every day till time ends
All you want is sleep but you're too deep
Down in hell busy making friends
Even when you're up hoping that the drugs
Will stop the madness, they have failed
You're still at the circus
The only hope left pumping in your chest
Keeping caged the demon is believing
That this nonsense will be over and you're cured by sunrise
Leave a sign on how to leave this mess behind
Your brain won't stop the fight with your
Maniac self unleashed ready to bite
Slowly turning crazy from
Repeting over and over
It's just a dream but it feels so real
That you can't tell the difference
You're going insane and will feel this way
Every day till time ends
All you want is sleep but you're too deep
Down in hell busy making friends
Even when you're up hoping that the drugs
Will stop the madness, they have failed
(Let me take you to the place
Where your favorite colors grow)
Your lips are calm not a muscle is moving
Eyes shut by the heavy painkillers
Your spirit rests like an angel's in heaven
But your enemy has waken you screaming
(Let me out, let me out
Wake me up, or kill me now)
It's just a dream but it feels so real
That you can't tell the difference
You're going insane and will feel this way
Every day till time ends
All you want is sleep but you're too deep
Down in hell busy making friends
Even when you're up hoping that the drugs
Will stop the madness, they have failed
You were lured into the circus
