Echo Garden - Scars Of The Painted Smile Lyrics



Echo Garden - Scars Of The Painted Smile Lyrics
Official




He steps into the spotlight, face painted bright,
With colors and laughter, he hides in plain sight.
His shoes oversize, his heart undersized,
The crowd roars with joy, but his soul's paralyzed.
He juggles his dreams like a circus ball,
Each tumble and fall is a part of it all.
They don't see the cracks in his porcelain face,
A mask that's been broken in this lonely place.
Scars of the painted smile,
He's been hurting all the while.
Underneath the laughter's tune,
He's a man beneath the moon.
Spinning round, he plays his part,
But every joke hides a broken heart.
The clown in the circus, the world's tragic show,
Dances through pain that they'll never know.
Behind the red nose, there's a story untold,
Of love that he lost, of dreams that grew cold.
He gave up his world for the big top's fame,
But now in the darkness, he's left with the blame.
The lights shine so brightly, but not in his eyes,
His smile is a prison where hope slowly dies.
They cheer for his stumbles, but don't understand,
Each fall pulls him deeper into sinking sand.
Scars of the painted smile,
He's been hurting all the while.
Underneath the laughter's tune,
He's a man beneath the moon.
Spinning round, he plays his part,
But every joke hides a broken heart.
The clown in the circus, the world's tragic show,
Dances through pain that they'll never know.
Once there was a time when his joy was real,
But the weight of the world crushed the way he could feel.
Now the makeup runs down like rivers of rain,
And nobody notices he's drowning in pain.
Scars of the painted smile,
He's been hurting all the while.
Underneath the laughter's tune,
He's a man beneath the moon.
Spinning round, he plays his part,
But every joke hides a broken heart.
The clown in the circus, the world's tragic show,
Dances through pain that they'll never know.
The tent comes down, the crowd disappears,
But he's left alone with his silent fears.
A man in a mask, in the shadows he'll stay,
The clown with a smile, fading away.
