clowning

Hmm
La la la la la la

Take a seat and
Watch my humility take the backseat
Tied to ego's leash, that's kinky
But I can't break free
From living out a shadow puppetry of
What I used to be
(used to be)
I cracked the whip on others
When I'm the one who's incomplete
(incomplete)

With my red nose, red lips
Shoes that don't fit
My pained eyes, painted smiles
Pain deemed me unfit
Well the failure I've come to be
But I'll stay clowning
I'll stay clowning
I'll stay clowning

(Oh really... we'll see)

Dishing out advice like the Michelin
But the plate mirrors a preachy bitch
Delusion is my recipe
Listen to my Grammy's thank-you speech
(Child please... urgh)

I should give a lecture on my hypocrisy
Talking big, acting small, my philosophy
'Cause juggling lies like jumping fires
I mastered it with degrees
(Hoowoo)

But my second nature to endanger
My inner peace like a trapeze
Artist, who can't find a grip
Yeah the jokes weren't funny

Spotlights on me, but I'm not shining
My make-believe is a comedy
For all to see it, oh, so blinding
You wish I'm retiring when I'm not even trying

'Cause you never admit defeat
Never up to speed
Never in my dictionary
Never near my feats
(gasps)
Blame it on your fits
You don't fit to feature on this beat
Won't leave your dignity to breathe
You're just a Pluto I eclipsed
(Real)
You're just a Pluto like the bitch
(Rude)
You're just a Dumbo with no-'O'
(OOP)
Feathers to fly free
So keep on dreaming like Walt Disney
But you wing it like a rookie

You can never ever compete with me
You have never ever seen me come clean
Don't blame a clown for laying it thick
It's my daily routine, you're so far from it

Don't let your guard sinking underneath
When you've come around since the beginning
I'm amused by how you're amused by me
It's your daily routine, you're not far from it

Like a tiger with no stripes
A lion with a squeak
An ostrich with its head buried six feet deep
And like monkeys, you can't sit with your mood swings
You can't live without the circus I bring

You're always complaining
Always comparing
Spewing hot air like a balloon is leaking
While I watch as your life's deflating

With my red nose I've picked
Shoes that will fit
Paid no mind to your pantomime
Paint, it always reeks
The failure I've made you believe
Cause you'll keep coming
While I stay clowning

Just like la la la la la la la la la la

Hmm
La la la la la la
Hmm
You'll keep clowning
You'll keep clowning
Yeah
No no no
You are clowning
