Freakshow Reverie

Mysterious stages glowing bright
Echoing voices fill the night
Dancers twisting in delight
I see lights flicker in flight
All of us follow, lost in sight

Screaming colors stake their claim
Underneath masks, laughter's insane
Chaos reigns in this game
Kindness lost, feeding the flame
Silence fades, feeding the same

Masks that shift in every scene
Enticing all in feverish sheen
Distant echoes fuel the scheme
Illusion wraps, golden beam
All we see, a warped dream

Screaming puppets lose control
Under lights, we pay the toll
Crying laughter keeps us whole
Kindly dance, enter the fold
Spectacle devours the soul

Masked actors fight in neon light
Every tear becomes delight
Daring glances hide fright
I see despair behind the white
All that glitters fades from sight

Shattered hopes fuel the screen
Under lights, nothing's clean
Clowns addicted to the scene
Kings and pawns lost in dream
Sinking slowly, nothing seen

Mermaids sing through static tears
Echoes mixed with crowd cheers
Dancers move, shed fears
Illusions spin without gears
All consumed, we disappear

Screaming puppets lose control
Under lights, we pay the toll
Crying laughter keeps us whole
Kindly dance, enter the fold
Spectacle devours the soul

Cracked mirrors, broken dreams
Reflected smiles torn at seams
Echoes call through hollow beams
Endless laughter in muted streams
Painted eyes where madness screams
Yielding softly to dark schemes

Masked faces, echoes swarm
Endless charades now the norm
Desire burns to keep us warm
Igniting sparks in storm
All we are, the eye of storm

Screaming puppets lose control
Under lights, we pay the toll
Crying laughter keeps us whole
Kindly dance, enter the fold
Spectacle devours the soul

Masked faces, echoes swarm
Endless charades now the norm
Desire burns to keep us warm
Igniting sparks in storm
All we are, the eye of storm

Screaming puppets lose control
Under lights, we pay the toll
Crying laughter keeps us whole
Kindly dance, enter the fold
Spectacle devours the soul
