Intro
You wake up again in the same old grind
Don’t know what time you passed out last night
You just know you’ve got to do it again
You don’t even get why
It’s not even funny anymore…
Verse 1
You paint your face slow in front of the glass
Praying your reflection still has a pulse to pass
He’s drowning in lies, says he’s doing fine
Burning with every dirty word that leaves his mind
Can you stop your reflection from staring back?
Can you teach me how to fight that?
Pre-Chorus
Staring in the mirror like a fever dream
A sad clown who’s given up on the scene
You blast the horn loud
Think: “All my sax lessons were a scam”
Pie in the face, all day you wanna break down
But you’ve got to make them laugh…
even when you drown
Chorus
Lying in bed, you feel so worn out
They won’t stop talking, won’t stop talking
Burning with every filthy word
And you feel so tired
Burning with every cruel word
Exhaustion paints your face
White as a ghost in the dark
Verse 2
You wake up again in the same old grind
Don’t know what time you passed out last night
Staring like a sad clown
You blast the horn loud
“My sax lessons… total scam”
You see the makeup on everyone else
Faces white as ghosts in the crowd
Ohhh-oh
(You’re not the only one) ×3
Bridge
Tools in the suitcase
Exhaustion does your makeup
You get lost staring into the void
Asking questions that don’t mean a thing
No one’s gonna give you the answer
They just wanna laugh
And every dirty word they spit…
Final Chorus (build-up)
Burns on and on
On and on
On and on
(A sad clown’s song) ×3
Outro
You wake up again in the same old grind
(He’s drowning in his own lies)
Don’t know what time you passed out last night
(Burning with every dirty word)
You see the makeup on everyone else
(Questions that don’t mean a thing)
White faces like ghosts in the crowd
(No one’s gonna give you the answer)
Burns on and on…
You’re not the only one
(echo: on and on… on and on…)
