The Songbird of Ceylon

Circles
We all move in circles
Nothing ever changes
Nothing new is happening

Circus
Clown leading the circus
I feel like a joke
There's things that I don't know

Braindead
Critically braindead
Is that how you feel?
Is something wrong inside of you?

Paralysed
Mentally paralysed
My cortex is astray
Terminally away from view

Eyes are open wide
Sleep, hide from the lies
Try to look inside
With your broken mind

Cry for what you've done
Blind, up to the sun
Leave it all behind
Speak, but you won't fight

And maybe if I close my eyes this time
I'll never feel the same again
And maybe if I let it hide
It might put out the fire within
So I guess that I've just gotta try
And live my life inside my mind
You've only got one shot
So take your chance!

Try to say goodbye
Cry from both your eyes
Weep for what you've lost
Think of what you've done

Wait until your chance
Feel complete at last
Leave it all behind
Speak, but you won't fight

And maybe if I close my eyes this time
I'll never feel the same again
And maybe if I let it hide
It might put out the fire within
So I guess that I've just gotta try
And live my life inside my mind
You've only got one shot
So take your chance!

I can't hide much longer
But they'll say that I don't belong here
How do I explain my ways
Between a rock and a hard place?
For all your battles won
For all that you have done
For all the things you know
The Songbird of Ceylon chirps on
