Painted in Misery

[Intro – Spoken / Ringmaster-Stimme]
Step right up, step right in…
Where balloon lungs pop,
and puppet hearts are stitched with sin.
Tonight’s show is despair in technicolor.


---

[Verse 1 – Growl]
Marionette veins sewn out of thread,
Every smile’s a mask the dead once wore.
Cotton candy rots to spiders’ webs,
Clowns choke on laughter, begging for more.


---

[Pre-Chorus – Shouted]
Carousel of broken spines,
Every joke’s a twisted crime!


---

[Chorus – Clean, hymnisch]
🎶 We’re painted in misery,
Like cartoons dripping red.
The freaks dance in mockery,
On a stage for the living dead. 🎶


---

[Verse 2 – Growl / Scream]
The jester juggles severed dreams,
Balloon lungs burst with hollow screams.
Acrobats dangle from crooked strings,
A circus of ash where no one sings.


---

[Pre-Chorus – Shouted, variieren]
Tear the mask, the truth revealed,
Every promise left unhealed!


---

[Chorus – Clean + Growl Layer]
🎶 We’re painted in misery,
Like cartoons dripping red.
The freaks dance in mockery,
On a stage for the living dead. 🎶


---

[Breakdown – Growl / Comic-Horror]
[Laugh like a deranged clown before growling]
Step inside the comic grave!
Popcorn teeth, confetti graves!
Laugh until your throat is torn,
This is where dead hope is born!


---

[Bridge – Whisper → Scream]
[Whisper as if telling a secret to a child, then explode into a scream]
Carnival mirrors crack the face,
Show the scars you can’t erase.
Every balloon bleeds black decay,
And the laughter screams your name.


---

[Final Chorus – Clean + Shouted / Layered Vocals]
🎶 We’re painted in misery,
Like cartoons dripping red.
The freaks dance in mockery,
On a stage for the living dead. 🎶


---

[Outro – Spoken, grotesk]
[Speak with broken laughter, fading into silence]
Ladies and gentlemen…
You’ve been a wonderful audience.
Now bury your dreams under the tent.
Because the show… never ends.
