[Intro] *(A sickeningly cheerful, high-pitched calliope playing a nursery rhyme melody, slowly warping, detuning, and turning into a slow, heavy, suffocating doom-metal crawl)* Look at the rainbows... look at the flowers. Everything is bright, everything is beautiful. Just put on your painted smile, swallow the lie, and pretend you're happy. Because if you look too close... the paint starts to peel. *(Crushing guitar distortion slams in)* [Verse 1] Gummy bears and rainbows, flowers in the light, Everything is wonderful, everything is bright! Skipping through the meadow under skies of perfect blue, Smiling faces everywhere, telling me and you— That life is just a picnic, nothing ever goes astray, Just keep your painted smile on and dance the hours away! *(The music abruptly screeches, warping into a slow, terrifying, distorted industrial grind)* But wait... why is that petal dripping wet and stained? Why's the grass beneath our feet soaked in copper rain? You blink away the sunshine, but the nightmare stays right here, As the candy world dissolves into a slaughterhouse of fear! [Chorus] So you pop another pill just to wash away the dread, Drowning all your problems while the voices fill your head! Trying to hide the fake you as you slowly go insane, Choking down the liquor just to block out all the pain! You never understand why this chaos wakes inside, With nowhere left to run and nowhere left to hide— The mask is cracking open as the sanity departs, A prisoner of poison where the real nightmare starts! [Verse 2] You're clawing at the drywall, choking on the toxic white, Sweating through delirium and screaming in the fright! Handfuls of the medicine to keep the colors bright, Desperately invoking gummy bears to save your life. But the chemical is crashing in a suffocating crawl, As bloody handprints smear across the padded nursery wall! Out of the shadows steps the Ringmaster with a grin, Dragging you face-to-face with the rotting state you're in! He forces back your eyelids, ripping off your fragile view, Exposing every piece of filth and horror inside you— The rainbows were a fantasy, the happiness a lie, A fabricated fiction just to watch the conscience die! He points right at your center where the inner demon sleeps, The monster you gave birth to as it multiplies and creeps! [Chorus] So you pop another pill just to wash away the dread, Drowning all your problems while the voices fill your head! Trying to hide the fake you as you slowly go insane, Choking down the liquor just to block out all the pain! You never understand why this chaos wakes inside, With nowhere left to run and nowhere left to hide— The mask is cracking open as the sanity departs, A prisoner of poison where the real nightmare starts! [Verse 3] You spent your whole existence feeding fuel into the beast, Thinking you were innocent, partaking in the feast! Every drop of poison that you poured to numb your head, Just grew the inner monster on the trauma you have fed. There is no escape from what you've carved into your soul, The illusion's finally shattered and the sickness takes total control! [Bridge] *(Music drops out to a chilling, single-note music box melody and heavy breathing)* Look in the mirror... go ahead, take a good long look. You wrote every page of this sick story book. You wanted the rainbows... you wanted the lies... Now choke on the truth as the innocence dies! *(Explosive down-tuned guitar drop and blast beat ramp up)* [Outro Chorus] So you pop another pill just to wash away the dread, Drowning all your problems while the voices fill your head! Trying to hide the fake you as you slowly go insane, Choking down the liquor just to block out all the pain! You never understand why this chaos wakes inside, With nowhere left to run and nowhere left to hide— The mask is cracking open as the sanity departs, A prisoner of poison where the real nightmare starts! Welcome to the beast you made, bitch! Ringmaster Sicko closing the book! HAHAHAHA! *(Final crushing industrial breakdown cutting instantly into absolute silence)*
