Strophe:
Time is dead and gone
Show must go on
It's time for our act
They all scream at me
They can not see
This curtain hides me
An amazing gift
So quick and swift
You were amazing
By myself I can't
They start to chant
Why are you not here?
Grinning at me
I lay on my knees
They want to hear me
Why can not HE see
I want to see you
I need to see you
I have to see you
What happened to you?
We get up on stage
They jump to enrage
Why are you not here?
Why is HE so near?
"He" wants me to sing
I just can not bring -
I say HE'S not you
What else can I do?
Refrain:
Singing it's silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in it's own nightmare
HE is a tyrant
It lets out a plea
Why did she have to leave it all alone?
Bound to sing for us
A worthless monster
It never sees us
It despises us
Lying so useless, we start to holler
"Hey! Get up you worthless Circus Monster!"
Strophe:
I lay all alone
I should have known
You would have left me
HE smiles at me
I can not see
Why HE'S in your place
They can't tell me why
You said "goodbye"
Right before our act
Those two young lions
Were always fun
Why did they leave, too?
Roaring at me
I lay on my knees
What is happening
I can hear you sing
They will not obey
They've been lead astray
Will I still see you?
I have to see you
I panic and flee
They both pounce on me
I fell to the ground
I can't hear a sound
I look up and see
You are not with me
Am I all alone?
Where could you have done?
(3x)

It despises us
Lying so useless, we start to holler
