The Jester's Show

[Mellow guitar intro] [Verse 1] Sick in the head, no known cure The voice is loud, it's deafening Telling me to kill, what could it mean Is this self defense or something more [Verse 2] Suppress it, keep it at bay Let it scream but I won't obey It drives me fucking insane (insane) The last laugh goes to me [Chorus] I'm going mad, but I mask it perfectly This grin of mine, to some it may be eerie Not my true face, just a facade I'm the mystic jester, not some foolish bard [Verse 1] My inner world, crumbling (crumbling) It's nothing new to me It tries to play god, breaking my mind But what's a god to a non-believer [Verse 2] I shall not fall, I will not fail They're counting on me, I will prevail It feels like my mind's splitting in two But the show must go on, what else can I do [Melancholic Guitar] [Heavy guitar breakdown] [Bridge] I will fight, I will rise This mask I wear, it will not be my demise Through the chaos, I conquer my pain It won't be for not, or in vain [Outro] No longer a slave to the shadow, the reflection of me This grin of mine, to some it may be eerie I confidently stride along, forging my own way I'm the mystic jester, here to stay [Outro] No longer a slave to the shadow, the reflection of me This grin of mine, to some it may be eerie I confidently stride along, forging my own way I'm the mystic jester, here to stay
