Jester Songtext
von Jenny Baker

Look it′s the queen
I am the jester
She's got the keys
To all of the treasure
I wanna be seen
I wanna impress her
She′s gonna hurt me
And I'm gonna let her

Lie to my face
As long as she's staring
I want a taste
Dangle the carrot
If it′s a race, give me the medal, I′m gonna wear it
I'm not okay but I′ll grin and bear it

I'd break my back for a smile or a laugh
She makes the tests, never know if I pass
I try to juggle, it′s too much to catch
I want her attention, I don't wanna ask


Do I have to trick you into caring about me
Is it such a bad thing
To want you to want me
Do I still exist if you′re not there and applauding
This dance is exhausting
You're not even watching

Sit on your throne
Controlling the weather
One day its hot, one day its cold
One day you might treat me better
You made up a world
Yourself at the center
But what do I know?
You are the expert

You make the call on what's good and what′s bad
How I breathe, how I walk and how I act
I try to juggle, it′s too much to catch
I want your affection, I don't wanna ask

Do I have to trick you into caring about me
Is it such a bad thing
To want you to want me
Do I still exist if you′re not there and applauding
This dance is exhausting
You're not even watching


Turn myself into a fool
Learned your ever changing rules
What′s a lie and what's the truth
What parts of me aren′t parts of you
I still don't know how to be
When you're not there judging me
You′re so good at what you do
Am I just a joke to you?

Look it′s the queen
I am the jester
She's got the keys
To all of the treasure
I wanna believe
It′s worth all the effort
She's gonna hurt me
And I′m gonna let her
