There's a circus in me
that your eyes cannot see.

Sometimes I wear a smile as
make up to cover those tear stains.

Sometimes the mind plays tricks
on me and I surrender to it as a slave.

Sometimes the heart breaks into pieces
and I make it look like another work of illusion.

Sometimes the soul deviates to seek an evil
and I let it play with those rings of fire.

Sometimes the body wears out and says no more
but here no matter what, the show goes on.

Sometimes I play the part of the joker and
sometimes I simply am the audience.

This happens everyday at the circus in me
that your eyes cannot see.
