paroles de chanson Circus and Churches - Tyler Ward

And all the amazing performers
They're all???
See the sword swallower, the fire eater, the electric lady, the??? lady, the???

June 94'
That's a story she ignores
They swept the pride and the lust
Of a preacher they loved
Under the rug
And she wonders why
She's staring at herself in her underwear
Pulling her hair
Saying: "Nobody cares"
She whispers: "It was an accident"
But I'm a fucking accident
Rubbin' on her nose
Grabbin' on her thighs
Up another half size

She'd rather show up in the circus
Than show up in churches
So love your neighbor as yourself
But what if you don't love yourself?
Well that explains our enemies (yeah)
But where is all this coming from?
It must have been when I was young
Those words you spoke over me
Identity

She stepped
Through the door
Down the hall
He made sure she didn't say a word
He took off that red colored dress
My god she was so innocent
She remembers all the things that he whispered
He cut her down down like his zipper
You'll never be worth it
Far from perfect
A daughter of the king, that's bullshit
Now he's touching on her nose
Grabbing on her thighs
And told her: "Big girls don't cry"

She'd rather show up in the circus
Than show up in churches
So love your neighbor as yourself
But what if you don't love yourself?
Well that explains my enemies
But where is all this coming from?
It must have been when I was young
Those words you spoke over me
Identity

Love your neighbor as yourself
What is there to love?
What if you don't love yourself?
When you're not enough!
So love your neighbor as yourself
What is there to love?
What if you don't love yourself?
When you're not enough!

Perspective
It's all about perspective
You just never know what someone else has been through
So before we point fingers and before we judge
Take a look in the mirror, take a look in the mirror!

If that was your story
And those were your circumstances
That could be you, That could be you!
Let's take a minute
What is there to love?
Let's empathize, let's try to understand
When you're not enough
We are all flawed and we all need grace
Father forgive us for we know not what we do
