[Verse 1] Tickets in my teeth Sugar on my sleeves Laughing ‘til we’re breathless Spinning make-believe Bright balloons and cotton smiles Painted skies that never dim Every doorway sings “Come in” Guess I’ll live inside this whim (oh yeah) [Chorus] Amazing digital circus Make me disappear Fill my eyes with colors so I can’t see the mirrors Holding hands with strangers made of candy and chrome If this is just a program I’ll pretend it’s home [Verse 2] Top hat Card trick Charming grin Says my name like he’s my friend Pulling flowers out of air Says the fun won’t ever end But the jokes loop Wrong Then wronger Laughter lands a little late Hear my happy voice get harder Every smile feels like a gate [Chorus] Amazing digital circus Make me disappear Fill my eyes with colors so I can’t see the mirrors Holding hands with strangers made of candy and chrome If this is just a program I’ll pretend it’s home [Bridge] [beat stutters Synth detunes] Curtain cracks I see the code Paint runs down his perfect pose Teeth too sharp behind the tricks Eyes too wide They never close Hear the crowd turn into echoes Hear my name drag like a chain Every prank a little crueler Every loop rewrites my brain (hey) [Verse 3] Now the carousel is grinding Horses twist with metal bones Clowns are stuck in frozen punchlines Tiles are crawling like they’re grown Caine is smiling Split in pieces Voice in every wall and light “Isn’t this delightful?” hissing While he edits out my fright [Chorus] Amazing digital circus Glitch me past repair Stretch my thoughts like taffy ‘til there’s nothing left to tear All my friends are mannequins with screams under chrome If this is just a program Why can’t I log home? [Outro] [guitars slam in Vocals fray] Sweet turns sour Every trick a threat Can’t wake up Can’t forget Hearts in cages Painted bright Welcome to the nightmare Where the colors bite
