ATLAST - The Circus (Fake Smiles) Lyrics

Welcome to this cage
The show begins
Smiling faces, with a cheering crowd
But behind the curtain, we are screaming
We are loud
Welcome to the circus
Welcome to the show
Some days I'm the trapeze artist, trying not to fall
Some days I'm the clown, wearing a fake smile
Carrying a bittersweet heart
People walk around
Wearing masks and a disguise
They will try to hide behind their painted lies
Juggling with your heart, wearing a fake smile
Carrying a bittersweet heart
Welcome to the circus
Welcome to the show
Some days I'm the trapeze artist, trying not to fall
Some days I'm the clown, wearing a fake smile
Carrying a bittersweet heart
Trapped in this cage, and I'm trying to escape
Longing for freedom, but afraid to break away
I don't need your expectations, of the endless show I've made
Welcome to this cage, no, help me
Welcome to the show
While we are all dancing, I'll break out of the mold
We all live in our own circus
And your story should be untold
Feeling chopped
Welcome to the circus
Welcome to the show
Maybe I'll rewrite it, with the life I choose to give
Less of that, the clown act
More of the daring leap
Find the joy in your journey
Instead of counting sheeps
