[Intro – Soft piano, childlike music box vibe]
🎠 One by one, the curtains rise…
🎭 Painted grin, rehearsed disguise…
(But good God, I’m tired.)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Delicate, breathy vocals]
My smile is sweet, you’d never guess
The chaos dancing in my chest
I stay discreet, it’s easier that way
Hide the storm behind display
Tiptoe through the corridor
Eyes shut but I see much more
The walls are breathing in my head
I laugh, but I am hanging by a thread
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Echoed / reverbed vocals with ticking sound]
Get me out of here…
I’m not okay but no one hears
This circus is too loud to scream
I’m breaking down behind the gleam
⸻
[Chorus – Explodes with glitchy synths + trap beats]
🎪 This smile gets heavy
Like chains around my face
I’m dancing through the dark
Just tryna stay in place
Life’s a carnival of mirrors
Where I fade into the haze
I wanna be free—
But I glitch, and I stay
🎠 Get me out of here
I’m trapped in what they see
My thoughts are not clear
I’m screaming silently
No matter where I run
The pain just stays with me
This smile gets heavy
Please set me free
⸻
[Verse 2 – Spoken word intro, then sung]
🎭 I play the strong one, all day long
Help you stand while I collapse alone
It’s easy for me—too easy
To be the shield, while my own soul bleeds
Two by two, the lights all flicker
Thoughts like knives, they stab quicker
This stage is cracked, this act is fake
But I can’t drop it ‘til I break
⸻
[Bridge – Slows down, eerie strings + whispers]
Behind my teeth is a scream
Behind my laugh, a shattered dream
I’m the clown that hides the cries
Juggling truths, swallowing lies
I’m lost inside the funhouse maze
Smiling wide through silent rage
No exit signs, no end in sight
Just flashing bulbs and endless night
⸻
[Final Chorus – Emotional climax + layered vocals]
🎪 This smile gets heavy
And the lights are too bright
I’m dancing through madness
In the middle of the night
I want to be real
But no one sees the fight
I need a way out—
But I’m locked in the light
🎠 Get me out of here
I’m haunted by this mask
They clap as I disappear
Into my final act
And when the curtains fall
Will anyone ask?
Or just applaud the silence—
And forget to react?
⸻
[Outro – Whispered, fading]
…My smile gets heavy.
…And I never left the stage.
