Lyrics
Description
[Intro: clean, eerie arpeggio on guitar/keys; distant calliope, a pocket of static]
Verse 1:
In the night I see the shadows dance,
Greasepaint on my hands, a chipped red glance.
A toppled carousel horse, its eye gone white,
A pocket of stale popcorn, under a sodium light.
The clown steps forward with a mocking smile,
Cracked lipstick catching, a hollow guile.
The metallic tang of fear coats the air —
I try to run but find my feet glued to the stair.
Pre-Chorus:
The lights pull tight, my breath thins —
A heartbeat counters the cymbal's spin.
A whispered promise pressed to my ear:
"Stay, stay, the show is nearly here."
Chorus 1:
A clown prince, a master of fear
My fantasies are dark and near
In his world, I am his slave
My soul is his, he won't behave
Verse 2:
His laughter curls like smoke through the tent,
A cracked mirror, the makeshift instrument.
Grease-tracked footprints lead me down the aisle,
My will dissolves beneath the stage's smile.
The band plays low — a knife-edge tune,
A jar of marbles, a broken moon.
A child's glove hangs on a nail, peeled and bare,
I taste the cold of someone else's dare.
Pre-Chorus:
The spotlights tilt, the audience breathes —
I am the hush between their teeth.
A paper ticket curls like a lie,
I hand it back but the gates stay tied.
Chorus 2:
A clown prince, a master of fear
My fantasies are dark and near
In his world, I am his slave
My soul is his; the ropes constrict
Verse 3:
His tricks are cruel — a clock with no hands,
Small cruel puzzles, invisible strands.
He paints my face with a powdered fate,
Cracked foundation under stage-light weight.
The carousel's song is off by one key,
A lullaby for the sleepless, for me.
I smell the old cotton, the wire, the rust —
He circles, hungry, on a ring of trust.
Bridge (reveal/change of view — bare strings/organ, breathy vocals):
Once I bought a ticket just to see
A flash, a wink — how free it'd be.
I laughed and tipped the darkness gold,
Fed the grin until the story rolled.
Now the mirror answers back with mine,
The clown's small smile is my design.
I try to tear the mask in two,
His painted mouth is glued to you.
Build (quiet then rising):
A single violin pulls the seam,
A hush becomes a fevered scream.
Chorus 3 (full, distorted, doubled vocals with harmony):
A clown prince, a master of fear
My fantasies are dark and near
In his world, I am his slave
My soul is his, there's no escape
Outro (sparse; echoing calliope, fading arpeggio):
Lost in the shadows, trapped in the night,
The clown's twisted circus, my eternal plight.
A toppled horse, a pocket of cold air —
The curtains close and he whispers, "Stay right there."
