Sawdust
Not a sparkle, not a sound
Bruised and battered on the ground
Collecting dog tags on a chain
Yet another failed campaign
Way outnumbered and unprepared
And all ambitions left for dead
Can't stop the bleeding
The circus is leaving for another town
Failure is fleeting
For the soldier and the clown
Filter teardrops, sweat and blood
Through the sawdust and the mud
Time to reload, go again
Find the strength to entertain
Walk the tightrope for the crowd
Before the silence gets too loud
Can't stop the bleeding
The circus is leaving for another town
Always competing
In search of a meaning
And the clock keeps counting down
It's time to get back on the horse
Ride out to conquer the applause
Can't stop the bleeding
The circus is leaving for another town
Always competing
Never retreating
Eventually healing
Failure is fleeting
Patterns repeating
For the soldier and the clown
Bruised and battered on the ground
Collecting dog tags on a chain
Yet another failed campaign
Way outnumbered and unprepared
And all ambitions left for dead
Can't stop the bleeding
The circus is leaving for another town
Failure is fleeting
For the soldier and the clown
Filter teardrops, sweat and blood
Through the sawdust and the mud
Time to reload, go again
Find the strength to entertain
Walk the tightrope for the crowd
Before the silence gets too loud
Can't stop the bleeding
The circus is leaving for another town
Always competing
In search of a meaning
And the clock keeps counting down
It's time to get back on the horse
Ride out to conquer the applause
Can't stop the bleeding
The circus is leaving for another town
Always competing
Never retreating
Eventually healing
Failure is fleeting
Patterns repeating
For the soldier and the clown
