Waking up to the same old game Promises break like morning rain City lights flicker full of empty stairs Dreamers chasing shadows in the air They sell you hope in a shiny box But inside inside it's just another lock Hearts on sleeves, they wear them proud Till the truth comes crashing loud And I see it all spinning round No, no one's losing, no one's found Scenic's crown, I wear it high Laughing at the big blue sky World keeps turning, fools keep trying Dancing blind while the wise ones sigh Oh, cynicism, my old friend In this circus, we pretend Old photographs in a drawer of dust Lies we told in a rush of trust Heroes fall from their paper thrones Leaving us here picking up the bones Love's a spark that burns too quick Leaves you cold in the aftermath Round and round, the wheel goes round What goes up must tumble down Scenic's crown, I wear it high Laughing at the big blue sky World keeps turning, fools keep trying Dancing blind while the wise ones sigh Oh, cynicism, my old friend In this circus, we pretend Maybe someday I'll believe again Let the colors flood you with a smile Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass To the fakes and the looking glass Scenic's crown, I wear it high Laughing at the big blue sky World keeps turning, fools keep trying Dancing blind while the wise ones sigh Oh, cynicism, my old friend In this circus, we pretend Yeah, we pretend Scenic's crown, I wear it high To the fakes and the looking glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass To the fakes and the looking glass Scenic's crown, I wear it high To the fakes and the looking glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass To the fakes and the looking glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass To the fakes and the looking glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass To the fakes and the looking glass To the fakes and the looking glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass To the fakes and the looking glass Back in, but for now I'll raise my glass
