[Verse 1] Cold start Static snow in my skull White mask Red ribbon in a null hall I reach for a face Just porcelain pain Hollow-eyed stranger In a looping game Glass smile Hair once tangled on a pillow Blue glow Anime girls on my window Bedroom walls Used to hold my weight Now I’m strung up As a walking ache [Chorus] Call me Gangle If I’m just a joke to you Paint my fracture In a pretty neon bruise I was human Now I’m code and thread and fear Ringmaster Say my name So I don’t disappear [Verse 2] Comedy twin Cracks clean on the floor (again) Shards laugh Cut lines in my core Every time I try To pretend I’m fine The happy half shatters On the punchline Frames flick Of a girl who stayed inside Phone light On a tear she tried to hide Watching worlds Where the lonely still could win Now my world Is an endless circus grin [Pre-Chorus] Who was I Before this velvet cage A username Lost in a comment wave I can’t feel My old hands reaching back Just ribbon Just ribbon Tied in a tragic act [Chorus] Call me Gangle If I’m just a joke to you Paint my fracture In a pretty neon bruise I was human Now I’m code and thread and fear Ringmaster Say my name So I don’t disappear [Bridge] [low vocal register] Caine in the center Teeth like a puppet show Says “You look like a tangle” And suddenly I know This isn’t my first fall From the edge of my own mind But this time the safety net Is made of scripted lines [whispered vocals] I loved heroes on a screen Now I’m trapped between the scenes [crescendo] If I’m a mask Then who wore me If I’m the ribbon Who adored me If I was broken Long before this Was this circus Or was it bliss [Chorus] Call me Gangle If I’m just a joke to you Paint my fracture In a pretty neon bruise I was human Now I’m code and thread and fear Ringmaster Say my name So I don’t disappear [Outro] Soft fade On a woman made of thread Red trail Where the laughter led If I can’t find The girl I used to be I’ll haunt this ring Till she remembers me
