He will never leave us
The ringmaster is overbearing
Are we just his circus?
I'm tired of just entertaining
This game is way too long
Do I really deserve this?
To jump hoops now and only service
If life was a circus
I would have no amazing purpose
I would be a jester
A clown, but nothing ever lesser
I'm the butt of jokes, despite the gesture
1, 2, 3, I'm counting the times that I would cry
ABC, I'm holding onto my slipping mind
XYZ, feel like I can barely rеcognize
ABC, let's run away from herе
Don't look in the mirror, eyes are a lie here
Rationalize fear, can't recognize here
They're hiding a way out, battling my doubts
Blocking off my route, pushing me to shout
My hunger is taken, sleep is forsaken
Name is erased, my sanity's shaken
My patience is fake, I'm broken in place
Abstracted my face, can't find any steps to retrace
He has eyes everywhere
The ringmaster is always staring
He sees to every prayer
He'll answer them without complaining
He will never leave us
The ringmaster is overbearing
Are we just his circus?
I'm tired of just entertaining, ah
Oh, ESC, let's run away where he can't see
Let's find some place the sky won't speak
There's a door out there without any eyes
Oh, ESC, let's slam the key and take our leave
I'll turn this key before he turns me
Into someone used to this life he's given me
