[Intro]
Sirens spin
Red fog, cracked lens
All my sins in a spray can
Tag the gate of the wasteland (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Face paint peeling in the rain
Laugh tracks loop in my brain
Carnival teeth, rust and chain
I shake hands with the insane
Mic like a jawbone, swing on sight
Underground king of the power outage night
You pray to the light, I pray to the static
Every bar carved, surgical, savage
[Chorus]
Welcome to the carnival of the damned
Where the lost get loud, and the loud get slammed
You want war? Step into the pit, don’t flinch
Every rhyme draws blood, every line leaves a glitch
Carnival of the damned
Where your halo burns and your mask gets slammed
Say my name in the circle, see your courage crash
We turn fear into fuel, then we strike, then we clash (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Battle scars under the greasepaint grin
Every heckler ends up ink on my skin
Throwing shade? I throw shadows back
Turn your freestyle flex to a body bag track
Demons in the crowd chant word for word
I breathe in the curse, spit out the verbs
You wanted chaos, here it is on tap
I make the whole floor crack with a single snap
[Bridge]
[Beat cuts to distant echoes and warped laughs]
Who’s next?
Who’s next in the funhouse glass?
See your own face split
Hear your last bravado crack
[Bass and synths surge back in]
[Chorus]
Welcome to the carnival of the damned
Where the lost get loud, and the loud get slammed
You want war? Step into the pit, don’t flinch
Every rhyme draws blood, every line leaves a glitch
Carnival of the damned
Where your halo burns and your mask gets slammed
Say my name in the circle, see your courage crash
We turn fear into fuel, then we strike, then we clash (woah)
