Title: Carnaval (Burn It Down) Verse 1 Welcome back to the painted lie, Sugar smiles and rigged goodbyes. Clap your hands, ignore the bruise, Choose your puppet, light the fuse. I was the girl on center stage, Now I’m the match that lights the cage. Pre-Chorus They built this place on velvet shame, Fed me glitter, gave me a name. But now the tent begins to shake— I’m not your doll, I’m wide awake. Chorus Burn the carnaval to the ground, Let the carousel break down. Rip the banners, scorch the lights, Sick of playing sweet at night. Laughter’s fake, and joy was leased— Now I’m the fire, not the feast. Verse 2 Clowns still grin with hollow eyes, Stuffed with secrets, dressed in lies. The funhouse warped my every thought, Now every mirror must be caught. Ringmasters with plastic charm— Let’s see them panic, sound alarms. Pre-Chorus They caged me in a frosted glow, But sugar chains still hurt, you know. No more spinning, no more grace— I’ll paint red across this place. Chorus Burn the carnaval to the ground, Let the spinning wheels slow down. Every mask and every bow, Melting in the ashes now. Crack the whip, the show is done— The freak has turned into the sun. Bridge I was the act, the broken mime, Now I’m the ticking of your time. Your circus dream, your dancing fool— Has ripped apart your pretty rules. No more gaslight, no more play— I’ll tear your magic world away. Final Chorus Burn the carnaval to ash, Turn the glitter into trash. No applause, no final kiss— Just the end you didn’t miss. I won’t twirl or bow again— This is where the lie must end. Outro So blow a kiss, wave goodbye— The carnaval was just a lie. ---
