Black Carnival Reactor

Intro (distorted whisper) Step right up… Step inside… No one leaves the other side… Verse 1 Rusty mirrors, painted screams Cotton candy laced with kerosene Carousel of broken teeth Laughing saints beneath the sheets Greasepaint running down the walls Static crawling through the halls Ticket master with a severed grin “Welcome, children — let it begin.” Pre-Chorus Clocks don’t tick in this machine Skin and sugar, slick and mean Chorus Welcome to the black carnival reactor Twist the dial, distort the laughter Neon venom, bite you faster Ringmaster of disaster Spin the wheel and pull the lever Pretty little freak forever No redemption, only pressure Black carnival reactor Verse 2 Ferris wheel in overdrive Dead-eyed dolls come alive Cotton smoke and razor rain Pleasure wired into pain Calliope from down below Playing notes too slow to know Every shadow bends and crawls Hear the hydraulic heartbeat call Pre-Chorus Iron lungs and velvet knives Mechanical gods in disguise Chorus Welcome to the black carnival reactor Twist the dial, distort the laughter Neon venom, bite you faster Ringmaster of disaster Spin the wheel and pull the lever Pretty little freak forever No redemption, only pressure Black carnival reactor Bridge (spoken / glitched voice) Lights flicker… Bodies twitch… Flip the holy circuit switch… Breakdown (heavy, slow, industrial stomp) CLANK — BOOM — grind the gears Feed the engine all your fears Shock therapy parade Dancing in the acid rain Final Chorus (bigger, chaotic gang vocals) Black carnival reactor Smile wider — bite back harder Scream louder — burn brighter No savior, no martyr Step inside and lose control Trade your heartbeat for the show Once you’re in, you’ll never go Black carnival reactor Outro (whisper fading) Round and round… Down and down… Welcome to the underground…
