Taproot

Step right up, let's paint a smile
On a clown so it's upside down
Sarcastic impression of what we've become
Playing the part that's been cast by some
Lying in wait, trying to figure it out
Needing to make ends meet
Elephant's in the room tonight
Around and round we go, where we stop no one will know
Everything seems to be falling apart
Happens complacence can feed the spark
End over end, side by side
Lonesome while counting down clock's been tight
Praying for help we'll be alright
Nothing can save us until we've been left behind
One more time
View from below looking up's where we start to climb
One last time
It's not as bad as we knew it could be
Sometimes kind, never proud
Escort me into the light
Let's fake a smile, step right up
