Lyrics
He takes it hard He got it wrong
And Feels so alone
He wanted more Is that so wrong
Forever gone
Make believe burns inside of him
All he's got
Living words Every real spark
Sets him off
The pain is steel And like a gun
He goes off
Make believe turns inside of him
Round and round
Cold and hard The power he feels
The fear lives on
It's a war of worlds & he is like the sun
He's burning down
The jaded clown lives on I am him
We are one
Come see the clown
He lurks inside of me
And takes me from this place
That makes me feel so small
The king of make believe
Paints a hated face
A grin to bare it all
