CarnivalOn the land molded by footsteps and ruled by obnoxiously bleached clowns, / Visited by swarms of neighborhood guttersnipes and the opulent from uptown. / Allured by the traditional Irish circus music and the grinding of rusted gears,

The Circus ShowI'm walking on a tightrope, with no balance and net below. / Swaying back and forth with an old weak trapeze. / Putting my life on the line as the dagger hits the rotating wooden board, and so the lion roars, me vs lion.

Circus WonderlandDramatic faces and dancing clowns, who's next to make a frown. / Acrobatics and tiger tamers. / Creepy smiles, chills down your spine, oh look? there's Alice In Wonderland with her time rabbit friend. Creepy places, so eerie and dark, don't you want to come with me and see the other side of Circus Wonderland? where every creature comes to life. Even the unknown.

🤡Clown on a Tight Rope🤡A massive weight shifts between my shoulders. It’s another fight, I am getting older. One more step, I grow bolder. See me out there, on that thin wire. Juggling my life at the same time trying to aspire. The pain didn’t set me back; it lit in me a fire. Your words sharp like a blade and my heart for hire. Elusive to the noise, I climb higher. / I’m eviserating the catacombs of an empire. / I am not trying to scale the ladder. I’m tearing it down to the mire. I am not dousing the flame, I am feeding the fire.
