[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Eastern walls cracked cold, three shadows slip the gate
Sanitarium steel left rusted, sealed by fate
Crept through suburban veins, where porch lights softly fade
Closets held their breath till midnight masquerade
Needle whispers in the dark, a venom-tipped decree
Eyelids frozen open, no scream to set them free
Paralyzed in satin sheets, a puppet show of dread
While psychopaths arrange the scene where living meet the d**d
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, carved in fear
Balloons bleed crimson, death draws near
Cake aflame on a table set for pain
Skin peeled back like wrapping paper’s stain
Eyes watch the blade dance, awake but bound
In this party of horrors, no solace found
[Verse 2]
Party hats tilt crooked on heads that cannot weep
Streamers coil like entrails where the nightmares creep
Frosting smeared on lips that taste the paralyze
Candles melt to waxen tears in hollow, staring eyes
The leader hums a lullaby, a razor in his palm
Peels back the fragile canvas, a grotesque, twitching psalm
Flesh unfurls in ribbons ‘neath the ceiling’s hollow glare
While victims breathe in agony, trapped in birthday air
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, carved in fear
Balloons bleed crimson, death draws near
Cake aflame on a table set for pain
Skin peeled back like wrapping paper’s stain
Eyes watch the blade dance, awake but bound
In this party of horrors, no solace found
[Bridge]
Dawn won’t chase these shadows—they feast before the light
A tableau vivant of anguish, drenched in morning’s blight
No sirens break the silence where the butchers left their art
Just mannequins of raw, red meat, a still and beating heart
The sanitarium’s empty, but the madness roams the streets
Another home, another feast, where innocence and dread meet
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, carved in fear
Balloons bleed crimson, death draws near
Cake aflame on a table set for pain
Skin peeled back like wrapping paper’s stain
Eyes watch the blade dance, awake but bound
In this party of horrors, no solace found
[Outro]
