Honeysweet - Crimson Carnival

[Intro, Announcer with a British cadence] "Ladies and Gentlemen gather close! Tonight's marionette has a heart of a rose... A sinner, from the shadows plucked A poppet of passion, strings uncut! But the show it burns on.. And with the crowd... we... do... watch..." [Intro verse] Spotlight's tongue licks your soul with a velvet grin Your ticket paid By your sins [verse] Welcome Sweetheart They clap for you now Welcome Darling to the here and now Look up Poppet And you'll see your name A gilded frame for every kiss you've sold! A shame this dessert is turning cold! [Chorus] Honey sweet you're dancing here in rings of shame Your hungered touch will linger here just all the same Honey sweet now listen to the raucous cheer You're the feast You're the show As your silent prayers Sell out every velvet tier in purgatory's brilliant glow [verse] Lean in Close and watch the mirrors turn Look at Lovers faces painted like a joke Whip crack Spinning past you upon the wire Every wanton thought that you would hold! A shame it turns you out unto the cold! [chorus] Honey sweet you're dancing here in rings of shame Your hungered touch will linger here just all the same Honey sweet now listen to the raucous cheer You're the feast You're the show As your silent prayers Sell out every velvet tier in purgatory's brilliant glow [Bridge] Whatcha think? That you'd close your eyes? No Not here The spotlight it never dies Every gasp Every cheer echoes velvet gold take a bow flower dear for the tales you've told! [chorus] Honey sweet you're dancing here in rings of shame Your hungered touch will linger here just all the same Honey sweet now listen to the raucous cheer You're the feast You're the show As your silent prayers Sell out every velvet tier in purgatory's brilliant glow [outro] “Curtsy, dear darling—you’ve earned your applause! The next act’s a sermon, but sins are the laws. The crowd, they’ll return for the blood upon the stage… Now curse me, sweet poppet—I’ll name your next fate"
