lyrics

can't quite get happy on my own
can't seem to stay quite sad enough to change though
my life ain't gained nothin by the sideshow
now i can feel my life becoming the sideshow

i never seem to say shit in real life
it's always already lost in my mind
so just gimme something for the sideshow
so leave me with an image, for the backdrop of the sideshow

the truth ain't no weapon for a sword swallower
the truth is an obstacle behind the funhouse doors
still i refuse to put fake nails up my nose
although a real good life forsaken makes for a sorry, second-rate sideshow

so why you ask am i still here after all?
why am i all curled up in this ball?
well i'm only here when you're watching the sideshow
i'll stay as long as you keep coming back to the sideshow
