masked Sad Clownby JARS OF CLAY Say how's the weather? So I look out the window To brighten my soul, but I can't control the rain that keeps falling Smile on the outside that never comes in A comedy, mystery, irony, tragedy So I scream, "let the show begin" You break me open Turn on the light Stumble inside with me, with me Do I entertain you? Do I preoccupy you with my wit to cover this lie? Are you mesmerized? Do you think me faithful, do you think me a clown? I picked out this shirt, I put on this hat I wore all this paint just for you You break me open Turn on the light Stumble inside with me, with me -- was i happy? yes. was i actually happy? no. it's not that i lied, i just didn't show it. no, actually someone who knew me well would've known. sometimes songs say it best. Finding Me by VERTICAL HORIZON I don't think you notice When you see my face I guess you're waiting To spin me around again Wheels I guess are turning Somewhere inside my head I know that this is Deeper than you get But you're coming back again You don't mean to waste my time But you're coming back so Don't tell me How to be 'Cause I like some suffering Don't ask me What I need I'm just fine here Finding me, me I've already given up on getting through I never question Who I'm talking to Oh, so much for nothing But nothing means so much I know it's touching But I've been out of touch And it's all that I can do I'm a sight for my sore eyes But it's all I am so Don't tell me How to be 'Cause I like some suffering Don't ask me What I need I'm just fine here Finding me, me I don't think you notice When I can't reach out I guess you're waiting On somebody else again Oh, so much for talking It's all been said before I'm hearing something but I wish you'd just say more But you're going off again When I try to just hold on But you're going off so Don't tell me How to be 'Cause I like some suffering Don't ask me What I need I'm just fine here Finding me, me |
