THE JOKER

Verse
1

They
call me the Joker, I don’t play card games –

I’m
the card wearing masks as the morning inflames.

In
a world without pardon, no mercy to gain,

They
build towers of cards that will collapse in pain.

No
evil inside me – I just reflect the sky,

My
window stays open to the storm passing by.

 Verse
2

I
am the Joker – opening doors that you must,

Yet
past the threshold, no escape from the dust.

Your
sanity is just a thin film on the sea,

A
twisted delusion you fear to set free.

You
saw the Joker – called a clown for your pride,

I
am outside the circus – you are victims inside.

 Verse
3

In
the end we remain with the memory clear,

Of
the final card drawing near.

The
Joker with a poker face so dry,

Waking
up with laughter as the dawn goes by –

Sees
the truth, and chooses it clear:

Joker
means laughter with happiness, my dear.

 Outro

The
Joker is the very last card on the floor,

The
game is no more.

Yet
the smile stays forevermore.
