[Verse] Welcome to the show, it’s a circus of the cursed Every step’s rehearsed, it’s the best and the worst Spotlight burns, but the shadows feel colder Weight on your chest, boulder on a boulder [Prechorus] Turn left, turn right, the maze just extends No start, no end, where does it bend? [Chorus] Welcome to the nightmare, where dreams go to hide Real life’s the monster, you’re along for the ride No escape, no map, just a laugh in the void Sorry, you’re the puppet, and the strings are destroyed [Verse 2] It’s a hallway of mirrors, each one cracked Reflections fight back, illusions attack Thought you’d find the door, but it’s painted shut Mind’s a cul-de-sac, every thought’s a cut [Bridge] Fly away? Nah, gravity’s got claws Try to scream? Silence rewrites the laws Life’s a script that you can’t revise Just a rerun of truth in disguise [Chorus] Welcome to the nightmare, where dreams go to die The real world’s a beast, it don’t even lie You’re locked in, strapped down, nowhere to go Sorry, this is the show, this is the show
