I see through your clothes
Your nerve damage shows
Trying not to feel
Anything that's real
You're losing control
Meltdown's looking for a new clown
Living in a world that's make believe
Used up burned out always got a hand out
Ain't nothing here for free
Now you're hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Let go let it be
New circus freak
With black eyes that speak
Life takes it's toll
You push and it pulls
You're losing control
Meltdown's looking for a new clown
Living in a world that's make believe
Used up burned out always got a hand out
Ain't nothing here for free
Now you're hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Let go let it be
I see thru your clothes
Your nerve damage shows
You're losing control
Meltdown's looking for a new clown
Living in a world that's make believe
Used up burned out always got a hand out
Ain't nothing here for free
Now you're hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Let go let it be
Hell bent looking for a god send
Kicking down the door waiting for a sign
Right side turning on the bright side
That might not be what you find
Wake up move on nothing left to prove
Got nightmares in your dreams
