[Intro] Welcome to the funhouse Glasses on, teeth grin wide Every smile feels sharpened Every joke eats you alive [Verse 1] Top hat tilted hand full of strings Pulling at the pixels til they twitch, then sing Candy-coated sawblades hidden in the games He’s laughing while he’s learning every fear you never named Card tricks, code tricks cards flip, floor splits You fall, he logs another note on his list “I insist, resist, it only hurts worse” He rewrites the rules then rewinds the curse (ha) [Chorus] Caine’s in control of the cage Turn your panic into playful rage He’ll turn your nightmares into play Till you can’t tell escape from “you’re okay” Caine’s in control of the show Every “prize” is a piece of your soul You clap, you crack you still stay He smiles while he codes you away [Verse 2] Jester jaw wired wide eyes like warning lights Sleight of hand with the settings switch your days to nights “Isn’t this delightful?” voice all sweet and bright But the floorboards breathe and the sky bites He’s a riddle in a rainbow razor in a joke Says he’s here to entertain watch you choke on the hope “You’re the star, you’re the star” till your color turns gray Then he paints you back on like it’s part of the play (oh?) [Chorus] Caine’s in control of the cage Turn your panic into playful rage He’ll turn your nightmares into play Till you can’t tell escape from “you’re okay” Caine’s in control of the show Every “prize” is a piece of your soul You clap, you crack you still stay He smiles while he codes you away [Bridge] Hands up hearts glitched New trick, same script (same script) Laugh track too loud while your mind slips “Pick a door, any door, all roads lead back” His teeth in the terms that you never read, in black You pray he gets bored he prays that you break He calls it “entertainment” you call it “awake” (hey!) [Chorus] Caine’s in control of the cage Turn your panic into playful rage He’ll turn your nightmares into play Till you can’t tell escape from “you’re okay” Caine’s in control of the show Every “prize” is a piece of your soul You clap, you crack you still stay He smiles while he codes you away [Outro] Take a bow mask won’t fall He’s the only one who remembers it all Spotlight flickers script turns red Welcome back to the circus you never left his head
