[Verse]
Lights flicker shadows crawl
No escape from the carnival
Rotten air thick and still
Laughter breaks the quiet kill
[Prechorus]
Painted faces cracking wide
Whispered secrets they can’t hide
[Chorus]
Welcome to the eternal carnival
Step right in lose your soul
Stay forever spin the wheel
Nothing here is ever real
[Verse 2]
Calliope screams in twisted tones
Dead-eyed dancers made of bone
Cotton candy dust and ash
Every step a thunder crash
[Prechorus]
Mirrors show what’s underneath
Your reflection starts to breathe
[Chorus]
Welcome to the eternal carnival
Step right in lose your soul
Stay forever spin the wheel
Nothing here is ever real
