Lyrics
[Verse 1]
House of a thousand mirrors
Every pane a different face
Little kingdom of chimera kings
Running circles in one place
Teacups tremble in the cupboard
Though the air is sugar-still
Every thought a small velociraptor
Scratching at the windowsill
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep naming every shadow
Like they’re guests at some soirée
Pouring tea into the saucers
Hope they drink
Hope they stay
[Chorus]
Welcome to my carnival of quiet storms
Where the tightrope smiles and the clowns deform
Every laugh is lacquer on a fractured mask
I juggle glass moons
Afraid to ask
Is this chaos or a fragile form?
My mind’s a thunderhead in uniform
Step right in
See the crooked norms
At the carnival
Of quiet storms
(oh-oh, quiet storms)
[Verse 2]
Wake up in a suit of armor
Made of yesterday’s applause
Velvet curtains in my rib cage
Hide a parliament of caws
Kitchen clock speaks Esperanto
Every tick a cryptic prayer
Sink is filling with obsidian rain
Dripping from an empty chair
[Pre-Chorus]
I arrange my little tremors
In a tray like precious rings
Call it order
Call it orbits
Round a choir
Of unseen things
[Chorus]
Welcome to my carnival of quiet storms
Where the tightrope smiles and the clowns deform
Every laugh is lacquer on a fractured mask
I juggle glass moons
Afraid to ask
Is this chaos or a fragile form?
My mind’s a thunderhead in uniform
Step right in
See the crooked norms
At the carnival
Of quiet storms
(hey, step right in)
[Bridge]
Some days I’m a solemn lighthouse
Blinking code to phantom ships
Some days I’m a palimpsest of bedtime tales
Smudged and slipping from my lips
There’s a bestiary in my journal
Half the beasts are wearing me
Tiny brokered truces on the hour
With each odd divinity
[Chorus]
Welcome to my carnival of quiet storms
Where the tightrope smiles and the clowns deform
Every laugh is lacquer on a fractured mask
I juggle glass moons
Afraid to ask
Is this chaos or a fragile form?
My mind’s a thunderhead in uniform
If you stay
You can ride the swarms
Through my carnival
Of quiet storms
(hold my hand through the storms)
