Circustance Lyrics

[whispering:…?Never trusted?…]
(Kaiser?/Crazy?)
(Black time?)
I looked upon the circus in the sky
(…steaming?) colorized ceiling paranoia
Make it go away
Make it go away
(unclean?)
There (for use/for years?)
Until tirade is used
Four ring
Four crap-hole
Listen to the circus
Listen now
Make it go away
Violent (teases/Jesus?) wet in mouth
Repromoting ecstasy escape
No self respected
Lies desperate
Lies pattern
Lies inside
Lies pattern
Lies inside
Lies pattern
Lies inside
(So let's spew?)
Set it in
Let 'em know how it feels
In gaping hole holding
Head explode
Cream drip bucket
Oversold
Washes dirt
Washing lies
Blaming cunt
Who won't realize
Tackle this reaper
Breeze rocking
Burning paper
(???)
pattern word
pattern lies

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

the point of view of someone in a literal hell, describing all the options he can find around him ridiculous, phony, and absurd. an option for transcendence, escape, a way out has made itself available but that appears just as artificial and absurd as the circus where he suffers in the presence. a circus stance. a rejection of the perceived artificiality of prayer and the absurdity of its appearance to the soul who needs it most.
