I used to be such a colorful clown
One whose only desire was to bring children glee
Years have passed and now my colors have faded down
~x
Hush little one the pain will set you free
Paint the walls with a beautiful shade of crimson
We'll be best friends just you and me
~x
Every soul is trapped in their own prison
Please don't be afraid I just want to see what lurks beneath the skin
A new type of thought has arisen
~x
Cries that match the notes of a violin
My friend grew older and his coldness is what I became
His desires imprinted into my flesh now I repeat his sin
~x
He soon realized that we were too much the same
I played with him until my laughter grew
Watched with fascination as he tortured the dame
~x
Her beautiful life he did slue
The wonderful show gave me such joy
His actions gave me a new point of view
~x
Voices whimper at my touch children's pitiful cries do annoy
Deep inside lurks something sweet
Such a pretty little thing you will make such a nice toy
~x
A part of me will always remain incomplete
Don't fear the finale is coming soon
How I love the taste of your fresh meat
~x
Want to see me make a balloon
Wind the box to make the weasel pop
Make it play a crooked tune
~x
Your hollow body will make such a creative prop
What's wrong kiddo isn't this so much fun
With a wave of my hand I can make the loneliness stop
~x
A vibrant entity I once was who shined like the sun
I waited forever for him to come back
Let's play a game of hide and seek I'll give you until the count of one
~x
The room grew older and my mind did crack
My colors turned to monochrome
A little kitty just waiting for the attack
~x
This new feeling I now call my home
Want to experiment on the flesh and bone
I prey on children whose minds do roam
~x
A chuckle escapes my cold lips this nightmare I now call my own
Form the human anatomy into something stitched from imagination
Rusty steel slices the scab that healing has sewn
~x
Reform the body and make slight alterations
Time to play with you one last time let my lullaby drone
Such artistic work fills me with admiration
~x
Don't cry little one for you are not alone
I'll be your best friend the clown colored monochrome
