[crowd applause] [Solo intro, crowd shouts and screams in support] [Verse 1] I fell through the floor of a dying sky, With a prayer in my throat and dirt in my eyes. No golden door, no guiding flame, Just a headless moon whispering my name. The flowers here scream when the daylight bleeds, The trees grow teeth and the rivers plead. I chased a clock through a field of bones, And woke up crowned in a world unknown. [Pre-Chorus] They said, “Welcome, child, to the other side,” Where the saints are dead and the angels hide. No way back, no morning star, Only mirrors showing what you are. [Chorus] I went down, down, down the rabbit grave, Where wonder rots and the lost are brave. Paint my heart in funeral red, Tell the Queen I’m already dead. I went far, far past the looking glass, Where every dream turns into ash. No white rabbit, no escape, Just my soul in a stranger’s shape. [Verse 2] The tea is cold and the cups are cracked, The Madman laughs with a knife in his back. He says, “You’re late for the end of your life,” Then pours me grief from a silver knife. The cards are soldiers with hollow eyes, They march beneath a blackened sunrise. The kingdom cheers when the gallows sing, And children kneel to a porcelain king. [Pre-Chorus] I asked the cat, “Can I still go home?” He smiled like a skull and said, “You’re alone.” Then faded out in a cloud of smoke, Leaving claw marks around my throat. [Chorus] I went down, down, down the rabbit grave, Where wonder rots and the lost are brave. Paint my heart in funeral red, Tell the Queen I’m already dead. I went far, far past the looking glass, Where every dream turns into ash. No white rabbit, no escape, Just my soul in a stranger’s shape. [Bridge] Off with my head, but leave me the crown, I was a boy when I first fell down. Now I’m a ghost in a borrowed skin, With a monster waking underneath my grin. Off with my name, erase my past, Nothing beautiful was made to last. If this is wonder, let it burn, There is no home to which I return. [Breakdown] Eat me. Break me. Crown me. Forsake me. Drink me. Drown me. Love me. Bury me. [Final Chorus] I went down, down, down the rabbit grave, Where wonder rots and the lost are brave. Paint my heart in funeral red, Tell the Queen I’m already dead. I went far, far past the looking glass, Where every dream turns into ash. No white rabbit, no escape, Just my soul in a stranger’s shape. [Outro] And if I wake, don’t let me see The boy this world devoured in me. Close the book and seal my fate, Wonderland has learned to hate.
