Ghost Circus Trick Of The Light
See this life before you
See the sun in the sky
Can you grasp the fading fire
Can you reach that high
When you were a kid they filled your head
With dreams of shooting stars
The sum of the parts could not come close
To what you think you are
But in a moment
In an instant
The dream was gone
In a moment
In an instant
You're all alone
Given the chance you'd run off
And leave all you have behind
Seems everything you wanted to be
Just didn't fit in the design
And this morning you awake alone and afraid
Feeling like somebody else
How much more can you take
Before you lose yourself
That's all in the past now
You've made some strides
So close you can hold the flame
Changed your perspective
Let go some pride
Sold out for the greater gain
Now that everyone knows who you are
They tell you that you're so profound
Turn away from those who got you this far
You say you don't need them, don't need them, don't need them now
To thine own self you're only true
Now fear consumes all you do
'Cause in a moment
In an instant
It could be gone
In a moment
In an instant
You'll be alone
This is what you thought you wanted
This is what you thought you needed
This is what you worked so hard for
This is what you broke your back for
And the hearts of everyone you knew
Seems your spotlight made a monster out of you
But in your defense
To thine own self you were true
'Cause in a moment
In an instant
It all was gone
In a moment
In an instant
You're all alone
Reap what you sow and choke it down until you're full
Bury yourself in filth just like an animal
Not quite the way you planned for everything to go
Climbing so high to fall so low
