Verse 1
Step right in, don’t be afraid
We’ve been waiting in the shade
Painted smiles and broken bones
This is where the lost ones go
Hear the whispers in the red
Voices crawling in your head
You can try to turn around
But your feet won’t leave the ground
Pre-Chorus
Strings are pulling from above
This was never out of love
Chorus
Welcome to the bleeding circus
Where the clowns all know your name
You can scream but no one hears you
You’re already in the game
Watch the dancers spin in sorrow
Watch the acrobats decay
You can run until tomorrow
But you’ll never get away
Verse 2
Cotton candy hides the taste
Of every soul we couldn’t save
Mirror shows a twisted truth
There’s no innocence in you
Mascara like falling rain
Every smile hides the pain
Take my hand, don’t let it go
You’re the star of this dark show
Pre-Chorus
Heartbeat syncing with the drums
Now your time has finally come
Chorus
Welcome to the bleeding circus
Where the clowns all know your name
You can scream but no one hears you
You’re already in the game
Watch the dancers spin in sorrow
Watch the acrobats decay
You can run until tomorrow
But you’ll never get away
Bridge
The spotlight burns your fragile skin
The crowd is laughing deep within
You were human once before
Now you’re part of something more
Final Chorus
Welcome to the bleeding circus
Take your mask and play your part
You can never leave this nightmare
It’s already in your heart
The curtain falls, the crowd remains
You will never be the same
