The clown sat speechless, looking in his mirror
unable to remember how to paint his face
Staring at the image, slowly getting clearer
Wondering if his fear or his heart would win the race
When it dawns on you
what it takes from you
living under clouds of pain
thereЕ’s a storm in you
you donЕ’t know what to do
Just when you think youЕ’re going insane
you lie naked in the rain
Fluttering pages of faces
no two alike
Choice is your soulЕ’s moment
for its light to strike
