Red Paint on the Carpets

[Intro]
Masks on
Flashlights off
Circle in the driveway
Grin like a chainsaw
[Verse 1]
Pull up in the minivan
Rust on the bumper, duct tape bands
Candy in the backseat, kids in the plan
Laugh in the mirror with the red on my hands (ha)
Face paint cracked in the rearview stare
Church on the hill got an empty chair
Pastor in the papers, “they vanished in pairs”
We were in the basement braiding each other’s hair
[Chorus]
Red paint on the carpets
Red paint on the shrine
If the big top’s burning
Then the circus is divine
We chant one word, two times, three knives
“You’re ours, you’re ours”
If you see that smile in the dark tonight
That’s the murder clown choir
[Verse 2]
Carnival coupons, cut-out saints
Stuff ’em in a box with the teeth and the complaints
We don’t need sleep, we just need saints
Tie another knot in the rope of faith
Ice cream truck with the warped theme song
Every wrong note means you won’t live long
We pledge in the funhouse, palms on glass
Blood on the mirror as the candles laugh (shh)
[Chorus]
Red paint on the carpets
Red paint on the shrine
If the big top’s burning
Then the circus is divine
We chant one word, two times, three knives
“You’re ours, you’re ours”
If you see that smile in the dark tonight
That’s the murder clown choir
[Bridge]
Step right up
To the last thing you’ll see
Paper wristband
Is your death decree
Who’s laughing now?
Mouth wide, eyes wired
Every joke ends
At the funeral pyre (haha)
[Chorus]
Red paint on the carpets
Red paint on the shrine
If the big top’s burning
Then the circus is divine
We chant one word, two times, three knives
“You’re ours, you’re ours”
If you hear that laugh in your lullaby
That’s the murder clown choir

rap, Aggressive hybrid of metal and horrorcore rap: male vocals alternating between snarled screams and tight double-time bars. Downtuned guitars chug in sync with trap-influenced drums; sub bass swells under halftime hooks. Hook opens up with gang-shout backing vocals, eerie bell lead, and sudden dropouts for acapella punchlines. Final chorus goes bigger with octave screams and choked cymbal stabs., nu metal, metal
