No one’s home Lyrics

The nose is red, but the joy's worn thin

He stumbles on stage, but the crowd's not in

The curtains hang limp, the lights don't shine

It's a world he's left behind in time

He walks through the door, his steps slow and wide

Wearing his red nose, but the joy's out of sight

The stage is just wood, the lights are cold

Where once he was king, he's now feeling old

His hands shake slow as he fixes his tie

But no one's there to catch his eye

The red's losing strength, the blue fades away

The yellow's turned grey in the light of day

His shoes are too big, his coat's too bright

But the colors can't mask the fading light

He's a ghost in a world he used to own

Just a painted smile, left all alone

His costume's a relic, a worn-out face

A painted smile in a forgotten place

"Knock knock - no one's home", says the Clown

I dance through the ring with a confident stride

The colors so vivid, no fear to hide

Every joke lands, every laugh soars

The audience claps, they call for more

The world is mine, I feel alive

Joy is the reason that I survive

He opens his eyes and the colors are gone

The laughter is distant, the crowd has moved on

The cheers are only whispers, fading like dreams

He stands in the dark, with nothing left, it seems

His shoes feel heavy, his coat too tight

He's a painted smile, fading from sight

The red's losing strength, the blue fades away

The yellow's turned grey in the light of day

His shoes are too big, his coat's too bright

But the colors can't mask the fading light

He's a ghost in a world he used to own

Just a painted smile, left all alone

His costume's a relic, a worn-out face

A painted smile in a forgotten place

"Who's laughing now?", asks the Clown

The nose is red, but the joy's worn thin

He stumbles on stage, but the crowd's not in

The curtains hang limp, the lights don't shine

It's a world he's left behind in time

His hands shake slow as he fixes his tie

But no one's there to catch his eye

The red's losing strength, the blue fades away

The yellow's turned grey in the light of day

His shoes are too big, his coat's too bright

But the colors can't mask the fading light

He's a ghost in a world he used to own

Just a painted smile, left all alone

His costume's a relic, a worn-out face

A painted smile in a forgotten place
