lyrics

children are laughing and smiling at me
makeup ballons and kids joy makes me free
dancing and clowning is all that I do
here I come wearing red, yellow and blue

liquid salvation fullfills the emptiness
isolates the fake, who's lost and not to be found
depression and last ye'ars laughs repeats themselves
echoes in the past, destroys the man in the mask

A burning self-esteem
made him do things
that he regrets now
kids wont be found

black holes and alchohol
made him kill time

forgot his medicine
with no control
Red ballons flies from
his last party

black holes and alchohol
the mask and the man

black and white
kids are gone

benjamin the clown hangs from
his gallow as the colors run
the children cry
balloons fly to
eternal joy and happiness
