Carnival (Full)

If life was a carnival,
god would be the ringleader,
believers would be the magicians
and war generals the fire breathers.
Risk takers,
daredevils,
Satan himself performs in the dance-trapeze under the moonlit sky,
While you stare at the elephant in the room eye to eye,

Toy cars,
Masquerade,
Painted face to hide their scars
because they're only as happy as the smile they've made,
Clown shoes,
Red nose,
Ever wonder where their inspiration goes?
Maybe the "people" at the freak show would know

20 x 20
bouncing light
House of mirrors with plenty ego insights,
with broken glass
seven year black magic
Watch your terrible luck become suddenly more tragic,

Acrobatic highs
Acrobatic lows
Come on down to the carnival show....
