Unable to remember how to paint his face
Staring at the image, slowly getting clearer
Wondering if his fear or his heart would win the race
When it dawns on you
What it takes from you
Living under clouds of pain
There's a storm in you
You don't know what to do
Just when you think you're going insane
You lie naked in the rain
Fluttering pages of faces
No two alike
Choice is your soul's moment
For it's light to strike
The clown sat speechless, looking in his mirror Unable to remember how to paint his face Staring at the image, slowly getting clearer Wondering if his fear or his heart would win the race When it dawns on you What it takes from you Living under clouds of pain There's a storm in you You don't know what to do Just when you think you're going insane You lie naked in the rain Fluttering pages of faces No two alike Choice is your soul's moment For it's light to strike Explain Request ×
