Dark Carousel

I walked into the park, the gates creaked slow [creak]

Cotton candy skies turned black as I go [ooh]

Faces smiling, but their eyes are hollow [huh]

Every step I take feels like a shadow follows [shadow]

Spinning mirrors, everything’s the same [spin, spin]

But twisted, broken, nothing feels tame [tame]

Whispers calling my name, oh, can’t escape [escape]

Welcome to the dark carousel [hey!]

Where dreams turn dark, and lights feel small [oooh!]

Smiles like knives, hearts are carnival dolls [dolls!]

Spin around, lose yourself, hear the call [call!] [808 kick]

Laughter echoes, but it chills the bone [haha!]

Every ride’s a trap, can’t leave alone [no, no]

Clocks are ticking, but the time’s a lie [lie]

Candy-coated chaos in the twisted sky [sky!] [808 snare]

Don’t fear the shadows, dance in the fright [dance!]

Every tear you shed becomes your light [light!]

People may judge, but you’ll survive [survive!]

Break every chain, and feel alive [alive!] [808 heavy bass]

Welcome to the dark carousel [hey!]

Where dreams turn dark, and lights feel small [oooh!]

Smiles like knives, hearts are carnival dolls [dolls!]

Spin around, lose yourself, hear the call [call!] [808 kick]

Step into the dark, don’t look back [no!]

Every twisted path’s a brand new track [track!]

Dark carousel, it’s your show [your show!]

Take the lead, let the shadows glow [glow!] [fading 808 + whisper]
