One More Shot

[ominous synth swells, low bassline, layered with sparse, echoing percussion] [Verse 1 - Male] One more shot, the barrel spun, roulette with a loaded gun, Clowns in my corner, jugglin' fears, shadows under the bleachers run, I’m in the tent, crowd roars wild, lion’s breath hot on my neck, Balance on the wire, no safety net, regret’s the tightrope I tread. [Prechorus - Female, whispered] You dance in danger, trapeze with no tether, But the fall’s forever, the fall’s forever. [Chorus - Both] One more shot towards you, you’d be gone, Rings of fire, spinning on and on, Circus tent chaos, where do I belong? The crowd screams loud, but the silence feels strong. [Verse 2 - Female] Paint on my face, smudged in tears, I’m the queen of this freak parade, Caught in a spiral, mirrors lie, reflections I can’t evade. Spotlight burns, a halo of shame, confetti cuts like glass, Tigers in cages, pacing the past, the whip cracks loud—won’t last. [Prechorus - Male, low register] You swing in circles, trapped in the weather, But the storm’s forever, the storm’s forever.
