I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- Sadly, my brain didn't get the memo. I'm still struggling to drown the circus music. My former audience keep looking at me longingly, hoping their pitiful looks draw me back to the arena. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- But my past is hot on my tail. My psychic told me to trust the process- But I trust that she needs a psychic herself- to foretell what shall be of her if this "process" betrays my trust. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- I'm terrified I'll make it, Murphy said it works best that way. I already picture myself in the big leagues, This vivid mirage affords me a temporary solace. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- but the nostalgia is culling my joy. The crowd here isn't as responsive, they just stare at me with dead eyes- Silently demanding me to lose my fickle hope. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- 'I was blinded by the lights', is what I'll say if I crash. I'm not anticipating it but the signs are showing. I plan to sell my dreams at the big stage- they'll have no choice but to listen! Is this my big break? Is this how I finally heal? I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- but my vision is obscured from this cell. In my defense, I tried escaping. The facade of freedom was just too enticing. Who can blame me? I am, after all the subject of my docket.

Selling Dreams
I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- Sadly, my brain didn't get the memo. I'm still struggling to drown the circus music. My former audience keep looking at me longingly, hoping their pitiful looks draw me back to the arena. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- But my past is hot on my tail. My psychic told me to trust the process- But I trust that she needs a psychic herself- to foretell what shall be of her if this "process" betrays my trust. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- I'm terrified I'll make it, Murphy said it works best that way. I already picture myself in the big leagues, This vivid mirage affords me a temporary solace. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- but the nostalgia is culling my joy. The crowd here isn't as responsive, they just stare at me with dead eyes- Silently demanding me to lose my fickle hope. I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- 'I was blinded by the lights', is what I'll say if I crash. I'm not anticipating it but the signs are showing. I plan to sell my dreams at the big stage- they'll have no choice but to listen! Is this my big break? Is this how I finally heal? I quit the circus to pursue bright lights- but my vision is obscured from this cell. In my defense, I tried escaping. The facade of freedom was just too enticing. Who can blame me?
