They laugh at me
 They don’t see me, they can’t
The stage is empty, I’m all alone
 They laugh, they scream, they hurt me
I wish they knew
 I am not the monster of the circus
 The real monsters hide behind these huge curtains
They laugh at me
 They don’t see me, they can’t
The stage is empty, I’m all alone
 They laugh, they scream, they hurt me
I wish they knew
 I am not the monster of the circus
 The real monsters hide behind these huge curtains
