Joining The Circus

Never won a medal for bravery

Never won a medal for tact

Never thought 'the truth' would enslave me

turn me into something too close to a liar

I'm joining the circus, I'm going away

waving from the boat, I don't cry

I will arrange

savor the lie

go blind on all these words

divine myself this urge

I'm joining the circus, I'm running away

the people I won't know, the places I won't stay

Now where is the circus? I only see clowns,

half-naked girls and mirrors

I leave them in the sea to drown

I love her now.
