A narrative song about mental illness and what it has the potential to bring about
Circus


Intro:


(Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls

Step right inside to see the out-of-this-world!

Within this tent you'll find wondrous things

This is the Cirque de Peculiar, home of the strange!!)


Song:


Every hour, every minute, I find myself trapped in a whirlwind

Of never-ending sickness, every thought is met with second guesses

Ashes! Ashes! Slowly I fall down!

I clutch my crooked cures, seeking freedom from my paranoia

For I can't bear it anymore, this storm surge of hysteria


With every moment I descend further into this abyss

These demons, they won't relent, the crystal ball has been broken


In desperation, I seek salvation in a magenta sky of candy clouds

But as the illusion is concluded, I'm left screaming for a way out

Mayday! Mayday! The ship is slowly sinking!

Something save me from this, put me in a state of psychosis

To pull me from the whispers of this malevolent hypnosis


With every moment I descend further into this abyss

These demons, they won't relent, the crystal ball has been broken

A flash flood of anxiety is drowning me in deadly disease

Can somebody rescue me from the skeletons haunting my dreams?!


Ashes! Ashes! Mama, we all go to hell!

Mayday! Mayday! Never mind, everything is fine

They don't end, the hallucinations, they're such beautiful creations

My endless hyperventilation is such an euphoric sensation

(Don't save me! Don't save me!)

Crooked cures, paranoia, storm surge of hysteria

(Everything is alright!)

(Don't save me! Don't save me!)

Anxiety, deadly disease, skeletons haunting my dreams

(Everything is alright!)


With every moment I descend further into this abyss

(Laladada, fe-fi-fo-fum!)

These demons, they won't relent, the crystal ball has been broken

(Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!)

A flash flood of anxiety is drowning me in deadly disease

(Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...)

Nobody can rescue me from the skeletons haunting my dreams!

(...Your are all going to have a fantastic time!)


Outro:


(...We are live at the Cirque de Peculiar...)

(...With a truly disturbing discovery at the Cirque de Peculiar...)

(...Police have confirmed that, altogether, 51 adults and children have been killed, many more seriously injured, and three children are missing...)

(...It is now being called one of the biggest mass murders in recent years...)

(...The Ringmaster, who is suspected to be behind the killing, has yet to be found...)

(...Police are unsure as to what his motives were for this crime. If you have seen this man, or these children, please contact authorities immediately...)
