<intro>
Pop! — goes the silence in my head,
The confetti rains like blood instead.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
Balloons burst red against the wall,
The clown still laughs through it all.
<verse>
The crowd is gone but I still play,
The echoes dance where children stay.
Hee-hee-hee-ha! *<laugh>*
My painted grin begins to tear,
The rubber skin of my despair.
Pop-pop! *<laugh>*
One breath left — it starts to squeal,
The laughter burns, the pain feels real.
<chorus>
Pop goes the balloon — my head’s too loud,
Ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
I’m laughing now, can’t face the crowd.
Strings all snap, the lights all dim,
I’m just a joke without the whim.
<verse>
Hands are shaking, makeup cracked,
The music skips, my voice attacks.
Hee-hee-hee-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
The punchline dropped, the crowd’s not there,
Still I laugh into the air.
Pop-pop! *<laugh>*
Every echo’s sharp as glass,
My joy’s a ghost that doesn’t pass.
<bridge>
Bang! goes reason, snap! goes truth,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
Giggles dancing in the proof.
Hee-hee-hee-ha! *<laugh>*
One more balloon, one more scream,
The clown explodes inside the dream.
<chorus>
Pop goes the balloon — my head’s too loud,
Ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
I’m laughing now, can’t face the crowd.
Strings all snap, the lights all dim,
I’m just a joke without the whim.
<outro>
Pop… goes the silence, fades to black,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
No turning round, no coming back.
Hee-hee! *<laugh>*
The clown still laughs — but no one hears,
Only echoes, only tears.
