Circus--Lindsey Mendez

[Your Local Shadow Simp]

Hello, kind sir, I’m so glad you never met me
You’re my first one, so forgive me if it’s messy
Just to be fair, I admit that I’m scared
And sorry for what I must do

Best not to talk 'cause you’ll kill the mood around you
Just close your eyes and be lucky that I found you
No one will know, okay, here goes
It’s easy as one, two, three

Good afternoon, Miss, you are my second victim!
First one was trouble, not to worry, 'cause I fixed him
Shh, not a word 'cause you won’t be heard
When I have your life in my hands

Just know that what I am doing is part of a plan
I will connect with as many souls as I can
And the soul that controls me, the one I should know
Must see my work here, which means you have to go

Surely you could understand
Haven’t you been in love on the edge
Where there’s no turning back

Just the thought of it can take you to some new dimension
So you do what you can just to get his attention
It drives you to boil, right up 'til you spill
It could drive you to bliss
It could drive you to kill

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a circus
Clown with a tear in a tent that isn’t working
All work, no play, day after day
'Til I have a life in my hands

Good evening, gents, step right up into my circus
I’m the ringmaster, and this is where the work is
Goodbye, you’re done, do as he does
To lead him right into my heart

If he could see me now
He’d know he’s not alone
This trail of breadcrumbs I’m making
Leading him right to my home

If he were with me now
Then love could be the twist
We could be together

In a world where we’d exist
We could be together
In a world where we’d exist

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a circus
Sometimes, I’m in control
