Circus
You swore
You wouldn't make a scene again
So much for promises
You'd light Yourself on fire
Run out into the street again
Just to be seen
Freak...
I stopped counting
A mirror maze
Replaced your face
In counting
If you'll ever change (but)
I don't wanna be in your circus
I ain't gonna play around
Going deeper than the surface
I ain't your clown
I don't wanna play in your circus
I ain't gonna mess around
I have got a greater purpose
I am out
That knife
Could never cut as deep as words
But don't threaten my neck again
Cause my life Is worth more than your centre stage
I didn't buy a ticket
I don't have to live it
We were dancing
Like moth to flame
Within your cage
But I'm flying, flying
Stuff this dance
I don't wanna be in your circus
I ain't gonna play around
Going deeper than the surface
I ain't your clown
I don't wanna play in your circus
I ain't gonna mess around
I have got a greater purpose
I am out
Im not a circus freak
You can't display me
You thought that I was meek
Oh baby
Im not a circus freak
You can't display me
Oh baby - I'm not weak
Bite me
I don't wanna be in your circus
I ain't gonna play around
Going deeper than the surface
I ain't your clown
I don't wanna play in your circus
I ain't gonna mess around
I have got a greater purpose
I am out
You wouldn't make a scene again
So much for promises
You'd light Yourself on fire
Run out into the street again
Just to be seen
Freak...
I stopped counting
A mirror maze
Replaced your face
In counting
If you'll ever change (but)
I don't wanna be in your circus
I ain't gonna play around
Going deeper than the surface
I ain't your clown
I don't wanna play in your circus
I ain't gonna mess around
I have got a greater purpose
I am out
That knife
Could never cut as deep as words
But don't threaten my neck again
Cause my life Is worth more than your centre stage
I didn't buy a ticket
I don't have to live it
We were dancing
Like moth to flame
Within your cage
But I'm flying, flying
Stuff this dance
I don't wanna be in your circus
I ain't gonna play around
Going deeper than the surface
I ain't your clown
I don't wanna play in your circus
I ain't gonna mess around
I have got a greater purpose
I am out
Im not a circus freak
You can't display me
You thought that I was meek
Oh baby
Im not a circus freak
You can't display me
Oh baby - I'm not weak
Bite me
I don't wanna be in your circus
I ain't gonna play around
Going deeper than the surface
I ain't your clown
I don't wanna play in your circus
I ain't gonna mess around
I have got a greater purpose
I am out
