The Clown

Dancing over to your world, who would have guessed
I'd be witness to the mess
You are
Tripping into every word you ever speak
Proof that echoes only answer
When spoken to

I'm turning the lights down low
So you can feel beautiful
You hide behind the eloquence of touch so well

As your eyes decline
Your eyes decline
You fake a faint forgiveness in a smile

Dancing over to your world, who would have guessed
I wouldn't fit this situation well at all?
Scarred a conscience when I was aiming for a heart
Sometimes crippling
Sometimes laughable
Like clowns

I'm turning the lights down low
So you can feel beautiful
You hide behind the eloquence of touch so well

As your eyes decline
Your eyes decline
You fake a faint forgiveness in a smile

Breathe
Please
Your hesitation's just mistaken happiness
And I see
Clearly why
Oh, saturation blinds the eyes to love
It's love

It's not turning the lights down low
So you can feel beautiful
You hide behind the eloquence of touch so well

As your eyes decline
Your eyes decline
You fake a faint forgiveness
In a smile
Once last time
Once last time
