Sideshow Nocturne

all the faces close their eyes
and hide under a lifetime of lies
this obsession that draws you in
a cold look at the soul within
sideshow nocturne

ugly people all around us
ugly minds full of disgust
till we look in the mirror and see
all this ugliness is you and me
sideshow nocturne

and a thousand nights alone in the dark
is all we need to make this world a fantasy
so come with me now and see this nightmare unfold
a trip into
sideshow nocturne

the gallery fills with paintings of torture and demise
hidden behind such a thin disguise
but for what, and who, why do we hide
from this person we all have inside
sideshow nocturne

each person is one act away from murder
a time bomb just wanting it all to be over
to be free from this hell
to be released from our shell
sideshow nocturne

and a thousand nights alone in the dark
is all we need to make this world a fantasy
so come with me now and see this nightmare unfold
a trip into
sideshow nocturne

all the faces close their eyes
and hide under a lifetime of lies
simply put we are all him
each one of us death will come
sideshow nocturne

sideshow nocturne
sideshow nocturne
this life is just a freak show
