I've been trapped in the madness From the shadows of sadness I laugh it away I've been blind to the pa**ion While the whole world is flashin' I stash it away While I'm singing of freedom I'm trying to sell what I never had Hoping I'll be released from my own kind of hell 'Cause I lost the key to my past The show must go on It seems like there's something I'm leaving behind The show must go on 'Cause the dreams that I'm having I'm having all the time The show must go on There will be no confessions 'Cause I'd only be guessing Just where to begin There's only one thing I'm knowing This feeling ain't blowing Away with the wind And I'm tired of turning my back on myself Throwing truth away Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
And give me a season of play The show must go on I just keep pretending to live for the game The show must go on I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain It's time for collecting What I've been neglecting It's gonna be a little strange 'Cause one day I'll be gone And I'll be back in town Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna be the same The show must go on And I just keep pretending to live for your game The show must go on I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain The show must go on I put on the face, win every race It's only the strong, can't you see And I keep up the pace I won't leave a trace Of Still going on, still going on The show must go on The show must go on
