Clowns
By Laura McK
Verse 1
Banging on the glass wall, screaming out my lungs,
Can anybody see me? Can anybody hear me?
I was on a ladder that was missing all its rungs,
Clown-faced strangers staring like they’re blind to me.
On the other side they’re minding their own show,
While my fists collide with the cold, unbreaking stone.
One silent tear falls down my face,
How in the hell did I get in this place?
Pre-Chorus
They’re holding broken limbs of the dead, I think,
My heart is racing, carved in invisible ink…
Chorus
Bend to my will, my dear,
What’s your greatest fear?
Give me your flesh,
With it I will sear.
Verse 2
An arm here, a leg there,
A skull with a hollow stare,
Bleeding guts and twisted frames,
A sick, disturbing, broken game.
I think I’m caged, invited as a guest,
While the creepy clowns continue on their quest.
The lights went out but still I cried,
Pretty sure this is hell inside…
Pre-Chorus
One, two, three, and four,
God get me out of here once more.
There’s been some mistake I know so well,
A message written straight from hell…
Chorus
Bend to my will, my dear,
What’s your greatest fear?
Give me your flesh,
With it I will sear.
Bridge / Breakdown
Laughing echoes fill my mind,
Leave all sanity behind.
Painted smiles, a twisted grin,
This nightmare’s only just begin…
Outro
Dirty, rotten devils, minds overflowing with hate,
Burning in hell — now that is your fate…
Now that is your fate…
