Welcome to the Circus

Hey lover, prancing and preening
Dancing and dreaming
Chanting and screaming
Warm mother, tearing us apart
Dragging me so far
To save my heart
Got this ticket to nowhere
Not too sure if I'm coming back
No one around can argue
That you should cut me some slack
'Cause I've been running and hiding
Whispering and crying for you
'Cause broken is broken
So here is my token of you
Slowly, you're suffocating me
No chance of breaking free
Don't make beg and plead
In time, this is what you will find
In this whole pantomime, you leave it all behind

Hey you, on your own
Isn't there someone you could phone?
Hey you, feeling down
There's got to be something to kill that frown
Hey you, crying inside
Such a lonely feeling you shouldn't hide
Hey you, watching the clouds
There are not enough of us around
Hope is all we have when our friend go home
Some of us get lonely when we're on our own
Shut the blinds and pray for a helping hand
Through this frightful silence, just understand
Hey you, up on the roof
Believe in second chances, and I'm the proof
Hey you, with noose in hand
There is someone out there who understands
Hey you, so afraid
Don't let all your fears become your cage
Hey you, chasing the sun
Just so that you know, you're not the only one
Hope is all we have when our friend go home
Some of us get lonely when we're on our own
Shut the blinds and pray for a helping hand
Through this frightful silence, just understand

Fool's Gold
05:18
|

And no, I never needed a credit card
To talk to a woman before
My pockets emptying at a rate of knots
Just to satisfy you
It seems the world has gone insane
Everyone here all plays this game
Getting all the green that you can find
I'm so glad I'm colourblind
And if you want more, murder and lie
Kill all the people and watch as they die
Nothing will ever change at all
Will we continue to fall?
All gold is fool's gold to me, and I can see
People all lie and cheat and steal, and nobody's real
All gold is fool's gold to me, and you will see
Lying and cheating and stealing, and no one is feeling
Prepare yourself for a system failure, 'cause
Nothing this stupid was meant to survive
Everybody's running in circles, and
Nobody just lives out their lives
Falling down a deeper and deeper hole
Just because you're too proud to crawl
And everybody wants to get somewhere
But they don't even know where they are
And if you want more, embezzle and whore
Make some decisions, don't care what they're for
And at this point will we continue to change, or
Will we continue to fall?
All gold is fool's gold to me, and I can see
People all lie and cheat and steal, and nobody's real
All gold is fool's gold to me, and you will see
Lying and cheating and stealing, and no one is feeling
Gotta get some money, don't really care how
Gotta get some money, and then I'm breaking out
All gold is fool's gold to me, and I can see
People all lie and cheat and steal, and nobody's real
All gold is fool's gold to me, and you will see
Lying and cheating and stealing, and no one is feeling

Signals Through the Mist
05:52

You're somewhere in this dark place
I can hear you breathing
This heart's beating in both your hands
As I sing
You make feel much stronger
Much weaker at the same time
You are my North star, now
My whole life's for you
Sometimes a little rough edges
Make things interesting
Sometimes it feels a little like
I'm in a haze, signalling to you
Where's your heart gone?
Has your heart gone baby?
Missing you, but you're so
But you're oh so near me
Oh, I feel empty, I
Feel emptied inside
No, no more tears to
No more tear to cry
Why do you want to choose
Being alone now and being lonely later?
So few chances in life to find the ones
Who will truly care
I see so many things inside of you
That you try to hide
Choose love and happiness with
Me and I could help you fly
We're going nowhere
Where's your heart gone?
Has your heart gone baby?
Missing you, but you're so
But you're oh so near me
Oh, I feel empty, I
Feel emptied inside
No, no more tears to
No more tear to cry

Silent Again
04:15
|

There must be some other way
Here comes the silence, washing
Over everything
Turn off the light, come back to bed
There are evils in my head which wait for
No one to break free
Free me
Wide-eyed and bushy tailed, until
The tides have turned
Now it's time to get what we have earned
Turn it into a contest to see
Who's more forlorn
No matter what you say, I miss you more
Silence overwhelms me, only
Loneliness abound
Here we go again
Bright light in the dark sky
Won't you carry me away?
This silence is killing me
Silence overwhelms me, only
Loneliness abound
Here we go again
Bright light in the dark sky
Won't you carry me away?
Feeling lonely (here we go again)
Feeling alone (here we go again)
Silence overwhelms me, only
Loneliness abound
Here we go again
Bright light in the dark sky
Won't you carry me away?
