Broken (Demo)

Now takin' his place inside the ring

Is a man with all of every vision of tomorrow

Although I gotta admit

He still stinks of yesterday

I am a broken clown

Built to tread

Destined to

Drowning my sorrows in corn

Which I acknowledge

I am not a man

To deny my rhyme

My reason, my why

Sweep it all under the rug

Slap my face

It's showtime

My public awaits

I will give my all tonight

Many a happy child

I do what parents cannot

I will not kiss your baby

Hundred proof, flames start to smother

Broken ashtray, thoughts of another

Bloodstained mattress, hotel matches

Ship's a goin' down

Feel like a flint in a Zippo lighter

Grind me down 'til my spark burns brighter

But tonight I'll sleep in my baby's arms

Wherever she may be

Hundred proof, flames start to smother

Broken ashtray, thoughts of another

Bloodstained mattress, hotel matches

Ship's a goin' down

I will bring the house down tonight

I will tear down the big top tonight

This night shall be the one that I dream of in dreams

This night I'll be the one to answer my prayers

Set free the animals

From their cage to roam

The streets are my enemies

They lay down

Just to let me walk

Into another blind alley

Then they attack

But I will not turn back

For tonight

I walk among the dead

And I am lost

No one will give directions to a broken clown

No one ever loves a broken clown
