Laugh While You Bleed

[Verse 1]
White paint cracking on his face
Rust-red smile carved too wide
He says grace in gasoline
Tips the altar
Lights the sky
Tents of canvas
Teeth and rope
Laugh-track echo in the dark
Handbell ringing
Eyes all closed
Every giggle leaves a mark
[Chorus]
Murder
Clowns and cults
We drink the fear you bleed
Hands up
Join the joke
Kiss the blade
Repeat
Murder
Clowns and cults
Wear the mask
Believe
If you’re scared to live
You’re perfect for the creed (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Circle drawn in circus chalk
Finger bones in paper cups
They chant hymns in helium
Voices climbing
Choking up
Ticket stub is branded skin
You got in
You can’t get out
Choir made of painted mouths
Turn your praying into shouts
[Chorus]
Murder
Clowns and cults
We drink the fear you bleed
Hands up
Join the joke
Kiss the blade
Repeat
Murder
Clowns and cults
Wear the mask
Believe
If you’re scared to live
You’re perfect for the creed
[Bridge]
Red balloons along the aisle
Float like bodies in the flood
He says “one more little smile”
While the sawdust drinks your blood (woah)
[Chorus]
Murder
Clowns and cults
We drink the fear you bleed
Hands up
Join the joke
Kiss the blade
Repeat
Murder
Clowns and cults
Wear the mask
Believe
If you’re scared to live
You’re perfect for the creed

metal, Chaotic modern metal with dissonant riffs, double-kick bursts, and snarling male vocals; verses stomp in a mid-tempo chug that suddenly drops into half-time menace, while the chorus sprints into tremolo-picked guitars and gang shouts. Bridge erupts into a syncopated breakdown with eerie music-box lead over palm-muted crunch, then everything slams back into the hook with layered screams and a final sustained chord hanging in reverb.
