Circus Man 04:22
Oh daddy won’t you listen To the boy whose too far gone Images flare they surround me Live the life of the circus man Oh I tried to see What you made for me It’s not that I’m trying to hurt you But you’ve got know that I’m my own The pain doesn’t come from Home In my life I’ve been a few things A pauper, a fool, a dreamer, a king And my head still in the clouds I don’t know a thing Mystery, I am weary Can you see me in the candle light Calling to fools of tradition Can you make me a circus man Oh I tried to see What you made for me Push to shove I’m resisting Loving one the social wall Voices call from inside me Love In my eyes war has been fought No hidden prison, no miracle sought In my head still the fires rage Leaving me to scream again In my life I’ve been a few things Ignorant master, laughable king And my hear still burns with rage I will not stay in my cage No oh You can’t keep me I will not stay No oh

Gemini 04:28
All I hear is talk of the dead Prying fingers inside my head Trying to tell me, want to make me see But I just don’t understand why they took you from me Can you tell me who I am People crowd around me in sympathy The walls push closer in Strange to think that I was once a child And I just don’t understand why we couldn’t smile I need you again Gemini Bleach me white Have you ever seen the ocean cry Am I the one to bring you wine Another vision from a tear stained eye As the gun moves closer to my head Timely martyr on a throne of tin As I wake up screaming in my bed All I know has already been said Reach for the calling inside my head Trying to tear me from the two I am Misery and company revived in my hands Wave goodbye Gemini Close your eyes Have you ever seen the ocean cry Am I the one to bring you wine Another vision from a tear stained eye Gunshot and I am dead Just a martyr in a land of sin Is it all in my head

Wishing Well 06:18
Do you remember were we ever young The last time I came to I was the only one The children of vision at the end of the street We laughed in their faces, we spit at their feet So I crawl from another dream Richer, poorer couldn’t help us see Don’t leave me here alone Waking souls to please my own Never leaving this handmade hell Take me back to the wishing well Tossing pennies for a better world We’d be so much happier if they never said a word Children laughing as the ripples fade What ever happened to the promises we made And I crawl from another dream My lips frozen in a childhood scream Don’t leave me here alone Waking souls to please my own Never leaving this handmade hell Take me back to the wishing well Don’t leave me here alone Waking souls to please my own Never leaving this handmade hell Take me back to the wishing well
