Lyrics: Arlec
Music: Arlec
I admit… started a race, no finish line
Lost in my head, wasting all my time
Am I gone, or just numb inside?
Thoughts explode, every day I hide
Begging for silence, begging for peace
But my mind won’t stop, it won’t release
I see the change in me, creeping quietly
Shadows in my chest, haunting silently
Clown and a ghost in the same disguise
Mask on my face but it eats me alive
Laugh at the pain, cry in the night
Mirror’s cracked, no reflection in sight
Haunted by voices that echo my chest
I’m breathing still, but far from the rest
Am I the lie that I’ve become?
Or just the pain I set free and run?
I stole myself away (Arlequin, Pierrot)
Static tear in my eye, but it never shows
It’s not the sadness you see, it’s deeper inside
I smile with painted lips, but the truth won’t hide
Every night the same war, demons in my head
Talking to the silence, speaking with the dead
Chains on my wrist, heavy and tight
Living in the dark, but I dream of light
Goodbye to the boy I’ll never know
Static tear frozen, but it still won’t flow
It’s not the sadness you see…
It’s the sadness I hide
Painted smile, broken lips…
But the tear in my eye never slides
I stole myself away, broke my soul
Static tear in my eye, but it never rolls
Inside I’m drowning, silence is deep
Arlequin laughs while Pierrot weeps
