Keep the storm away, keep it to yourself
Suck up all your sorrow so you don't hurt anybody else
If your clown makeup fades, whatever would they do
With the monster in front of them, that once was you
I'll be gone before morning
I'll be gone before too long
I'll try not to wake you
And I'll be back before another dawn
I hope you're having a ball while my stride withers down to a crawl
Everything like before, turns to dust So leave me on a shelf, let me rust
I'll be gone before morning
I'll be gone before too long
I'll try not to wake you
And I'll be back before another dawn
