(Verse 1) Ice in my blood, feel it crawl through my bones Got a carnival mind in a house made of stones Every whisper’s a knife, every shadow’s alive I see ghosts in the glass every time I arrive I was dancing on wires, yeah I loved the applause Now I’m tangled and torn by my own wicked flaws Every face in the mirror wears a devilish grin Saying “welcome, my friend, let the nightmare begin” (Pre-Chorus) I say run while you can, I’m a beautiful sin But you smile like you wanna come crawling in (Chorus) Look in my eyes — see the dark come alive That’s where all my demons hide Step a little closer, cross the warning line Where all my demons hide (Verse 2) Yeah— I’m the king of the broken with a crown made of lies Got a venomous tongue and a taste for disguise I can twist every truth, make you swallow it whole I’ve been feeding the fire now it’s eating my soul Split down the middle, yeah I’m two in one skin One is screaming for mercy, one is dragging you in Saying “baby I’m fine,” with a crack in my smile While I’m dying inside in theatrical style Every step’s like a drum in a funeral march Every spark in my chest leaves a permanent scar I built this asylum, now I’m locked in the show I’m the star of the horror and I can’t let it go I preach salvation with a mouth full of doubt Like a saint with a switchblade, I’m bleeding it out I’m a glitch in the system, I’m a beautiful curse Yeah I wrote my own hell — now I’m stuck in the verse (Break) —Don’t you love the show?— (Chorus) Look in my eyes — see the dark come alive That’s where all my demons hide Step a little closer, cross the warning line Where all my demons hide (Bridge) If I pulled back the curtain, would you like what you see? Or just another disaster dressed in vanity? You’re the light that I touch but it burns through my hands Every heaven I find turns to dust in the end (Final Chorus – bigger, theatrical) Look in my eyes — watch the darkness arise That’s where all my demons hide Yeah it’s deep inside, no more alibis It’s a show that never dies
