Happy Spectacle

Welcome to the spectacle That’s really all I am A pretty smiling show and tell Of things that’ve never been I’ll tell you all these happy things And act like they are real Although I know it can’t be true It’s just to damn surreal With sparkling sequins on my clothes And glitter in my hair “I’m so happy, my dear friends And I know that you’ll be there “You’ll be there when ever I fall down And when I loose it all You’ll even be there when I fail I’m not afraid at all!” It’s all a lie, I smile and cry I wish I wore more black It would hide all the color I loose to the night And the dark stripes I can’t take back
