Circus Melancholy, a sidenote

Animals caged, animals insane
Animals on display
Pushing candy in my mouth
I suck on the sweet decay
Lie to the children, smile to the children
Tell me we'll be okay
Whitewashed red walls
Secrets in the dirt
Bury the truth
It's like a circus for me
I want to believe

Very nice, tho if you don't mind me takening it bluntly.

-Not all animals in cages are insane and crazy. what about hamsters. they seem to be haveing a pretty good time? many animals live way past their expected live time. the basic ground all animals go for is their needs.
-Food
-Water
-Shelter

I can't imagine this being cruel and unusual treatment?

my only other knock on wood, is Secrets in dirt? you say bury the truth and secrets in dirt? so how is the truth a secret? am pretty honest and keep to the truth. I don't feel covered in dirt.

am not going against you, i just wish for a little elboration if you don't mind me asking for?

if not.. cool. Just thought it would be fun to go into a gib about meaning and source of insperation. yup.

Take these things I say in multiple ways. I don't talk about a specific person or situation in my lyrics. I take a big, somewhat vague issue and then circle it back to make it personal.

When I wrote the secrets in the dirt line, I was mainly thinking about corpses. How it sort of applied to the issue. Skeletons in the closet, almost.

It's sort of awkward to dissect something I wrote..I like being cryptic to a point. :P

sorry :) I was just trying to understand the root spur of these thoughts.

and yes, it's very fun to wear a mask and be secretive. I like wearing feathers personally.
