**Verse 1**
In the mirror, I catch my gaze,
A twisted grin in a smoky haze,
Colors swirl, the world’s a blur,
Behind the laughter, the shadows stir.
**Pre-Chorus**
I wear this mask, it hides my pain,
A painted smile, but it’s all in vain,
With every chuckle, a whisper grows,
A haunting truth that nobody knows.
**Chorus**
I see blood in my face when I smile like a joker,
A carnival of chaos, a heart that’s grown colder.
Dancing on the edge of a razor-thin line,
Laughing at the darkness, pretending I'm fine.
**Verse 2**
Beneath the surface, the colors bleed,
A jester’s heart, but it’s not what I need,
Echoes of laughter, a bittersweet sound,
In the circus of life, I’m lost and I’m found.
**Pre-Chorus**
I juggle my fears, I mask my scars,
Underneath the spotlight, I’m reaching for stars.
But every smile hides a tear that falls,
In this twisted game, I’m breaking the walls.
**Chorus**
I see blood in my face when I smile like a joker,
A carnival of chaos, a heart that’s grown colder.
Dancing on the edge of a razor-thin line,
Laughing at the darkness, pretending I'm fine.
**Bridge**
So I’ll wear this grin, through the highs and the lows,
In the shadows of laughter, the truth still glows.
With every heartbeat, I’ll rise from the pain,
A phoenix in the ashes, I’ll dance in the rain.
**Chorus**
I see blood in my face when I smile like a joker,
A carnival of chaos, a heart that’s grown colder.
Dancing on the edge of a razor-thin line,
Laughing at the darkness, pretending I'm fine.
**Outro**
So here’s to the laughter, the joy, and the tears,
In the face of the joker, I’ll conquer my fears.
With blood on my cheeks and a smile that won’t break,
I’ll embrace the madness, for my own heart’s sake.
