The Circus

How could you understand the agony I feel?
When you just let the madness take you.
You took the emergency exit.
Left me alone to fight unearthly horrors.
You say 'We bore the same torture, came from the same roots'?
Don't make me laugh.
Where I didn't give up.
You couldn't face reality
Yet somehow you stole all my rare smiles.
Managed to make me swim up side down against the current.
With only your dead weight upon my back.
Made me believe it was duty to bear your burden.

Yet for all my effort.
Laughter still rings in my ears,
As they tore the limbs from my flesh
Only that mocking sound left your lips.
May the circus that enslaved us
Force your sanity to return
For then you will only begin to understand
Just how much I've grown to hate you.
We'll be all smiles and screams once again.
Only this time our roles will be reversed
