Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You spin your plates You light your fuse You call it fate I call it choosing abuse Tightrope talk Clowns in a line Painted smiles All out of time [Chorus] Not my circus Not my monkeys (hear me clear) I won't bleed for borrowed chaos Not your fear Cut the strings I'm walking out of your funhouse Not my circus Not my monkeys I'm out [Verse 2] You sell your storms Like they're the air You beg for flames Then cry that no one cares Juggling blame Like broken glass Every cut You call it “just a laugh” [Chorus] Not my circus Not my monkeys (get it straight) I won't dance around your drama Your decay Tear the posters from the wall I'm stepping out Not my circus Not my monkeys I'm out [Bridge] You shout “Stay” I mouth “Never” Your ring of fire Burns its own tether I’m not your net I’m not your tent I’m the door And I’m already bent (yeah) [Chorus] Not my circus Not my monkeys I won’t stay Every ticket that I bought I’ve burned away Keep your ring Your roar Your broken little crowd Not my circus Not my monkeys I’m out Not my circus Not my monkeys I’m out
