Carnival of Teeth

Step right up, don’t be afraid,

I’ve painted the tent with the blood I’ve made.

Cotton candy melts with screams,

Your eyes are sweeter than sugared dreams.

The spotlight finds you, trembling slow,

The carousel spins where no one will know.

{Chorus]

Welcome to my carnival of teeth,

Where the music laughs, and the shadows breathe.

Run if you want, but you’ll never leave,

I’ll carve my song in the bones beneath.

Tick-tock… click-clack…

The hunter smiles, you won’t come back.

Juggling knives with your final breath,

I pirouette in the dance of death.

The crowd is gone, the curtains close,

But your skin’s the costume I’ve chosen to sew.

A violin cries, twisted and slow,

The carnival lights begin to glow.

The tent is empty, your body is still,

But the echo of laughter will never be killed.

Welcome to my carnival of teeth,

Where horror and pleasure are stitched in the seams.

You’re part of the act, my eternal theme,

Your death is the crown of my circus dream.

The circus stays… but you fade away.
