Black Cloud Circus
I have a growing black cloud in my heart
My soul inside is slowly falling apart
The decay of my spirit can be seen in sad eyes
There is a growing attraction of this spectacle in an immeasurable size
A freak show circus has come to town in this black cloud
The audience comes with the currency of ridicule and judgment oh so proud!
They point and laugh and mock me oh so cleverly!
I am great for business because I am such a sad sight to see!
No one knows what is really behind the curtains of my dark eyes
Some where in my mind I pray for a quick demise
I care too much and willing show the vulnerable card
The audience mistakes my compassion for stupidity and labels me a retard
There will be a point in time when I am just gone one day
Some one will have to tell them the show is cancelled and to go away
No more freak boy with the enlarged heart
No more sensitive weirdo who is not too smart
No drowning fish who can not do anything right
Sorry your freak show was cancelled which brought you all such personal delight
The time has come to find a new human attraction
Some other poor bastard to mock for personal satisfaction
