A mindless existence I press against the bars Of a closed in world I'm too frightened by far A pitiful existence Too scared to cry As my fear unfolds There's no reason why I'm caught in a circus of thieves Where only the innocent bleed There is no reason For all of this pain Only laughter and tears And the pouring driving rain Season to season Nothing will ever change Only faces leer There's no give and take And if I called you now Would you say goodbye? And as I look at you Is understanding in your eyes? And as I reach for you Would you understand that freedom's mine? But as you walk away I can't understand There's something between us Lies down in your hands And as I call for you Would you turn around? Is freedom mine? Am I the captive For the lust of this man? Or am I a sinner To live within his master plan? Nothing ever changes Nothing ever will I'm caught in the backstage Of this circus thrill This circus thrill
