I hid my petals deap inside my hat

Buried it six feet in the ground

May the seeds never reach the show lights

Keep it hidden, keep it safe and sound

The new clowns never knew, each flower on their mask

Counted for someone I loved and lost

They never cared, never knew of their task

Drown the blossoms voice, drown it all day long…

~

It’s on with the show, and I’m all alone

No where to go, no place to call home

I built this circus from the ground

To keep my Circus Dream safe and sound

Buried alive by the things that they’ve said

I wouldn’t be surprised if it remained dead

This dream of mine, it included you

But then all my old clowns quit, you did too

I had a Circus Dream, and you never knew

~

I’m not looking for an audiance

Maybe an old clown somewhere in the crowd

They keep coming in to see the show

But everyone keeps asking for the Jester I used to have

I told them he cut my strings and left me buried

How he ran off to join another show

Baffled, they come to join the other clowns

Until they realize the jester didn’t leave for no reason at all

~

It’s on with the show, and I’m all alone

No where to go, no place to call home

I built this circus from the ground

To keep my Circus Dream safe and sound

Buried alive by the things that they’ve said

I wouldn’t be surprised if it remained dead

This dream of mine, it included you

But then all my old clowns quit, you did too

I had a Circus Dream, and you never knew

~

I can replace the clowns, but I can’t replace you

The flowers keep growing, keep getting thrown askew

Discarded, smashed, and no one else knew

It was my secret, the hell you put me through

Just because the masks break and flowers wither, don’t make em go away

~

It’s on with the show, and I’m all alone

No where to go, no place to call home

I built this circus from the ground

To keep my Circus Dream safe and sound

Buried alive by the things that they’ve said

I wouldnt be surprised if it remained dead

This dream of mine, it included you

But then all my old clowns quit, you did too

I had a Circus Dream, and you never knew
