If you stay in the silence,
you can hear the dome clowns
trying hard to bring someone down
because that is a life they live.
They have nothing anyone wants
so they say things to make you feel like them
cheap and small
like something from Hell.
So take your mask off,
no one wants to see really because
they know who you are already.
You will never reach a crown
so keep on walking and doing your talking
only clowns need what they eat.
so take your rage back to your cage.
