Welcome to Your Nightmare
WELCOME TO YOUR NIGHTMARE ⸻ [Intro] Welcome back, we’ve saved your seat. The show begins where shadows meet. The lights are warm, the smiles are wide. Step a little closer inside. No need to worry, no need to run. Everybody here is having fun. The laughter echoes down the hall. Funny thing… nobody leaves at all. ⸻ [Verse 1] The curtains part with trembling grace. Painted smiles stretch across each face. The music sways, the crowd applauds. Something watches from above. A thousand eyes reflect the glow. Following everywhere you go. The exits fade beneath the haze. Lost somewhere inside the maze. The host appears with widened eyes. Too much joy to be disguised. ⸻ [Pre-Hook] Hands together. Voices high. Hear the welcome from the other side. ⸻ [Hook] Welcome to your nightmare. Stay a little while. Every scream becomes a song. Every tear becomes a smile. Welcome to your nightmare. Nothing here is fair. Once the curtain knows your name. You’ll discover you’ve been here. ⸻ [Verse 2] The ceiling bends without a sound. As painted horses circle round. Their hollow eyes remain on track. Yet never seem to wander back. The mirrors lining every wall. Reflect a version ten feet tall. Each copy grins a little more. Than any face you’ve seen before. One leans close against the glass. And mouths the date you breathed your last. ⸻ [Pre-Hook] Hold your breath and count to four. Something’s standing by the door. ⸻ [Hook] Welcome to your nightmare. Stay a little while. Every scream becomes a song. Every tear becomes a smile. Welcome to your nightmare. Nothing here is fair. Once the curtain knows your name. You’ll discover you’ve been here. ⸻ [Breakdown] The orchestra stops. The crowd stands still. Every head turns toward the stage. Every smile remains. The spotlight burns. The host steps near. His voice begins to crack and rise. Far beyond what should be heard. Then through the laughter. Through the screams. Through every sound inside the tent. One question cuts through everything. “Do you remember how you entered?” ⸻ [Hook – Final] Welcome to your nightmare. Stay a little while. Every scream becomes a song. Every tear becomes a smile. Welcome to your nightmare. Nothing here is fair. Once the curtain knows your name. The exits vanish into air. Welcome to your nightmare. Hear the call and stare. You’ve been sitting in this seat. Long before you knew you’re there. ⸻ [Outro] The lights go out. The applause continues. A single spotlight remains. Your seat is empty. The show is not.
