[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The congas scream, the crowd’s a fevered tide,
But my breath’s a ghost, no place to hide.
Laughter spins like a salsa flame,
Yet my tongue’s a stone, choked on my name.
[Chorus]
Oh, silent carnival, d***n my fear in sound,
A thousand eyes—they hunt, they pound.
The rhythm’s claws tear through my veins,
But the louder the world, the deeper my chains.
[Verse 2]
Confetti masks grin, but mine’s a lie,
A phantom lost where the rooftops cry.
Palms sweat the b**t, my pulse deranged,
In this neon storm, I’m estranged, estranged.
[Chorus]
Oh, silent carnival, d***n my fear in sound,
A thousand eyes—they hunt, they pound.
The rhythm’s claws tear through my veins,
But the louder the world, the deeper my chains.
[Bridge]
The maracas whisper, “Break free, break free!”
But the stage is a cage, and the key’s in me.
A tango with shadows, no hand to hold,
My heart’s a drum with a fracture untold.
[Chorus]
Oh, silent carnival, d***n my fear in sound,
A thousand eyes—they hunt, they pound.
The rhythm’s claws tear through my veins,
But the louder the world, the deeper my chains.
[Outro]
