Melanie Martinez - Circus (HQ)

[Verse 1] Ticket stubs inside my pockets, turning into dust Wooden horses spin so slowly, but they never stop I keep waving at the mirrors, they don't wave me back Every clown is wearing faces that I think I lack [Pre-Chorus] Under the spotlight, my feet forgot their place where I held my breath, you stood outside the frame balance breaks when you lean too far and still expect the space in the void lost and unwound [Chorus] Walking in circles, no map to guide me, lost in the noise, made in the static. Paint on my smile, hide all the panic, Round and around in this paper circus, [Verse 2] The trapeze hangs like a crooked moon, I swear the night arrives too soon. I count the footsteps in the sawdust ring, Waiting for the next bell to sing. Paper crowns and cotton gloves, Everybody wants a little blood. I keep rehearsing my escape, But every doorway changes shape. [Pre-Chorus] Under the spotlight, my feet forgot their place where I held my breath, you stood outside the frame balance breaks when you lean too far and still expect the space in the void lost and unwound [Chorus] Walking in circles, no map to guide me, lost in the noise, made in the static. Paint on my smile, hide all the panic, Round and around in this paper circus, [Bridge] The ringmaster swallowed all the stars, Locked them away in little jars. I pull the ribbons from my sleeves, Nothing appears, nobody leaves. If I step outside the tent tonight, Will I disappear with all the lights? Or will the drums keep calling me Back to where I'm meant to be? [Chorus] Walking in circles, no map to guide me, lost in the noise, made in the static. Paint on my smile, hide all the panic, Round and around in this paper circus, #hades #crybaby #leak #melaniemartinezcrybaby #mm4 #music #portal #melaniemartinezvideo #mm5
