Chapter Text
Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for
I could feel the lights hug my face, I am listening to the thousands of laughs from hundreds of people who have come to see our show.
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soakin' through the floor
They want to see them, the family that I have achieved in such a short time, the family that I always wanted is at my fingertips and I will not let it slip through my fingers.
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
I let it happen once, I won't make the same mistakes again.
Takin' your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
What else? I hear footsteps, it's a dance, I see lights, it's a show, the intoxicating smell of effort and dedication cloud my senses.
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
I remember how I had everything and nothing in less than a few hours.
Your fever dream, can't you see it gettin' closer?
But I can also hear the sounds of the footsteps of horses, carriages, many people but they don't laugh… they are upset it seems like a market.
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling takin' over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open
When I open my eyes I can see myself in the window of a stall in the market.
I am 11 years old and I am too naive for the world around me.
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion
I only see greatness in my reflection and thousands of dreams that I have to fulfill.
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding
All that you know So tell me, do you wanna go?
I am eleven years old and I am only a child.
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
I'm eleven years old and I still don't know you.
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
I am eleven years old and my life is not perfect.
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
I am eleven years old and I am looking for a friend.
Oh, this is the greatest show
I am eleven years old and I feel that time is slipping away from me.
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be…
