[Intro – distant carnival hum, vinyl crackle, low choir] Yeah… Lights still spinning, but my heart don’t move Welcome to the circus of truth… [Verse 1 – Emo Rap, calm but heavy] Fog in the air, yeah the night feel cursed Red lights glow where the angels rehearsed She sittin’ like a vision made of pain and silk Eyes tell stories, but her lips stay guilt I been walkin’ with my demons, yeah they know my name Every smile I gave love turned into flames Fairground mirrors show a boy I hate Heart on a leash, still I let it wait She don’t speak much, but she feel like war Every step closer, I bleed some more Goth boy soul in a velvet coat Tryna stay afloat but the dark feels home [Pre-Chorus – melodic, emotional] If love’s a game, I already lost Paid the price, never checked the cost Hear the music but it sound like cries Even heaven got carnival lights [Chorus – Big, emotional hook] Under velvet funeral lights we fall Round and round till we feel nothing at all If I love you, I lose myself If I leave you, I lose my soul Velvet funeral lights, don’t look back Heartbeats fade with the smoke and black I’m alive, but I don’t feel right Dancin’ with ghosts in the pale moonlight [Verse 2 – Faster rap, pain-focused] She a ghost in lace, I’m a boy with scars Prayin’ to love under broken stars Crowds around but I’m still alone Too many numbers in my phone, no home Trust got burned like paper signs “Forever” only works in lines Every promise turned into smoke Every laugh feel staged and broke I tried to save her, I drowned instead Tried to sleep but the thoughts stay fed If love’s a sin, then I confess I wore my pain like a wedding dress [Bridge – Spoken / whispered] This ain’t romance… This survival. [Verse 3 – Goth emo rap, darker tone] Circus lights flicker, hearts get sold Smile for the camera, bleed in cold She touch my hand, I forget my name But memory hits like a runaway train If she leaves, I won’t chase no more Already dead behind closed doors I learned love don’t save the weak It just teaches pain how to speak [Final Chorus – layered vocals, choir + 808s] Under velvet funeral lights we fall Round and round till we feel nothing at all If I love you, I lose myself If I leave you, I lose my soul Velvet funeral lights, hold me close Kiss my scars like a holy ghost I’m alive, but I don’t feel right Dancin’ with ghosts till the end of night [Outro – fading carnival music, echoing rap ad-libs] Round and round… Love don’t stop… Lights go out… I don’t.
