[Verse 1]
Fractured mirrors multiply the ache
A broken heart written on my face
My bloodshot 3rd eye still cries
Scattering the truth among the lies
Shedding the tears of a rose
Hiding in residual realms and echoes
Off intrusive thoughts I overdosed
Madness breaks what broken hearts mend
Refracted neon lights flicker and bend
Step into the gateway of the in-between
All that's standing between you and me
Rutilated cracks bleeding gold
Healing broken souls I long to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Velvet rope tightens until I choke
Don't even know if it's haze or smoke
Pulling me under until the spell is broke
Invoke...
[Chorus]
Can we go to the carnival of all that never was?
Where everything’s too much and nothing’s enough
Rides made of shattered glass, laughs, and rust
Forgotten dreams of lost ones play
Hear the colors dance all night and day
Follow the path of golden cracks
Into the liminal — no turning back
... no turning back...
[Verse 2]
Broken mirrors distort the face you once knew
My reflection can't live and doesn't want to
Tell me “don’t cry,” then say your goodbyes
Still can't tell the truth from the lies
It's spinning, I'm dizzy, vision is blurry
A small voice whispers: you need to hurry
An abandoned ride torn at the hinge
When fantasy ends, insanity begins
Altered states invoke glitches within
Soul contracts signed with aurora ink
Desperate to find the missing link
Be careful… don’t blink
[Pre-Chorus]
Velvet rope tightens until I choke
Don't even know if it's haze or smoke
Pulling me under until the spell is broke
Invoke...
[Chorus]
Can we go to the carnival of all that never was?
Where everything’s too much and nothing’s enough
Rides made of shattered glass, laughs, and rust
Forgotten dreams of lost ones play
Hear the colors dance all night and day
Follow the path of golden cracks
Into the liminal — no turning back
... no turning back...
[Verse 3]
Shattered mirrors screaming your name
Quantum loops reliving my shame
Delusions painted red-white-and-blue
Cataclysmic goodbyes I can't undo
Rose petals cascade like bloody rain
From thorns that promise only pain
Within all the cracks gold veins glow
Contradicting everything we know
[Pre-Chorus]
Velvet rope tightens until I choke
Don't even know if it's haze or smoke
Pulling me under until the spell is broke
Invoke...
[Chorus]
Can we go to the carnival of all that never was?
Where everything’s too much and nothing’s enough
Rides made of shattered glass, laughs, and rust
Forgotten dreams of lost ones play
Hear the colors dance all night and day
Follow the path of golden cracks
Into the liminal — there's no turning back
... no turning back...
[Outro]
Gold bleeds on endlessly… don’t blink
It's spinning, I'm dizzy, vision is blurry
A small voice whispers: you need to hurry
