I've been trapped in the madness,
|
From the shadows of sadness
|
I laugh it away.
|
I've been blind to the passion
|
While the whole world is flashing
|
I stash it away.
|
While I'm singing of Freedom,
|
I'm trying to sell
|
What I never had.
|
Hoping I'll be released from my own kind of hell
|
Cause I lost the key to my past.
|
|
The show must go on.
|
It seems like there's something I'm leaving behind.
|
The show must go on.
|
Cause the dreams that I'm having,
|
I'm having all the time.
|
The show must go on.
|
|
There will be no confessions,
|
Cause I'd only be guessing just where to begin.
|
There's only one thing I'm knowing
|
This feeling ain't blowing
|
Away with the wind.
|
And I'm tired of turning my back on myself
|
Throwing truth away.
|
Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
|
And give me a season of play.
|
|
The show must go on,
|
I just keep pretending to live for the game.
|
The show must go on.
|
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
|
It's time for collecting
|
What I've been neglecting.
|
It's gonna be a little strange.
|
Cause one day I'll be gone,
|
And I'll be back in time(town?).
|
Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna
|
Be the same.
|
|
The show must go on,
|
And I just keep pretending to live for your game,
|
The show must go on,
|
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
|
Put on the face,
|
Win every race,
|
I'm just so strong can't you see,
|
And I keep up the pace,
|
I won't leave a trace.
|
Of ....
|
Still going on, still going on.
|
|
The show must go on,
|
The show must go on.
