In front of the laughing audience,
I'm one of the greatest fool.
My jokes are simply nonsense;
But it makes me weirdly cool.
With me, they're all entertained.
My silly acts are the best.
The audience never really waned
Because of my harmless jest.
I can make anyone laugh
When I tell a knee-slapper.
If your life's getting rough,
All you need is a jester.
If I can make others happy,
Why I can't make it to me?
Am I really this so lonely?
I think you would agree.
Am I really fooling my ego?
But I'm one of the greatest!
Though it was long time ago
When I became so depressed.
I lost my own happiness;
And all that I can feel
Is too much sadness
Is it a big deal?
Why I can't be so happy
When I hear them laughing?
I'm sure this isn't apathy.
Wait, am I really crying?
Tears! It'll ruin my masquerade!
The smudge on my happy face,
It will expose me, I'm afraid.
This isn't I want to showcase.
I can't stop the tears
In my eyes like raindrops.
The audience slowly disappears.
When will this rain stops?
Now I'm all alone, crying.
I revealed my true face.
I'm not even lying;
I need someone's embrace.
But I think I'm already fine.
I'm still driven by avarice.
This is how I will define;
Chester, at your service.
