Jester Dance

Words and Music
Rhesa Siregar/Paul Gentry

(Verse 1)
Never a time to be myself
When I'm alone I try to forget it all
Never a time I can relate to anyone, no one
Look inside my eyes, my face is painted on
Never a day to leave this shell, no
Never a breath I can call my own
I am screaming, no one can hear me
Before you now I perform

(Chorus)
I dance, I sing, this faceless offering
I smile, you laugh, this time's not meant to last
I cry, you sleep, with dreams of happiness
Who wears the mask
 
(Verse 2)
Never a word that I have spoken
reflect the soul within, the words escape me
I hear the sound of the Jesters drum, I stand before you now with my head bowed down
 
(Bridge)
See him dance, hear him sing, it's a faceless offering
I cry while you sleep, so close your eyes
 
(Chorus)
Have I given you evenything, you're a pupet dancing on a string
They're more moves left to be played
but then memories fade away
 
(small bridge)
Jester dance all night long
Jester dance all night long
 
(tag 1)
There's somewhere else I need to be
It's following the sunset
 
(half verse 3)
Never a time to be forgotten
But who's the lonely one?
Look inside my eyes, see the jester cry
