He will never leave us The ringmaster is overbearing Are we just his circus? I'm tired of just entertaining This game is way too long Do I really deserve this? To jump hoops now and only service If life was a circus I would have no amazing purpose I would be a jester A clown, but nothing ever lesser I'm the butt of jokes, despite the gesture 1, 2, 3, I'm counting the times that I would cry ABC, I'm holding onto my slipping mind XYZ, feel like I can barely recognize ABC, let's run away from here Don't look in the mirror, eyes are a lie here Rationalize fear, can't recognize here They're hiding a way out, battling my doubts Blocking off my route, pushing me to shout My hunger is taken, sleep is forsaken Name is erased, my sanity's shaken My patience is fake, I'm broken in place Abstracted my face, can't find any steps to retrace He has eyes everywhere The ringmaster is always staring He sees to every prayer He'll answer them without complaining He will never leave us The ringmaster is overbearing Are we just his circus? I'm tired of just entertaining, ah Oh, ESC, let's run away where he can't see Let's find some place the sky won't speak There's a door out there without any eyes Oh, ESC, let's slam the key and take our leave I'll turn this key before he turns me Into someone used to this life he's given me Must I amuse this mask Hide my frowns keep up with the act I have so much to ask, but they tell me the answers abstract What's the point in lying? Why lose life to fictitious writing You know this isn't real, stop hiding 1, 2, 3, I'm counting the contradicting lies ABC, spelling out the truth they all hide XYZ, when is the last time you talked about life ABC, why don't we try to leave? This place is like a nightmare Why must we forget the wonders out there He will never leave us The ringmaster is overbearing Are we just his circus? I'm tired of just entertaining Oh, ESC, let's run away where he can't see Let's find some place the sky won't speak There's a door out there without any eyes Oh, ESC, let's slam the key and take our leave I'll turn this key before he turns me Into someone used to this life he's given me Will not be numbed and captured here Even If I understand and see their fears If I'm down to repeat the same search as those behind me I'll try to find the way out just before I'll start to feel complete again In this world I know will lead me to my end Maybe they aren't like me Soon it will be me that sees Me that sees Oh, ESC, let's run away where he can't see Let's find some place the sky won't speak There's a door out there without any eyes Oh, ESC, let's slam the key and take our leave I'll turn this key before he turns me Into someone used to this life he's given me Let's ESC (Let's ESC. oh, yeah, let's ESC)
