Interlude 2 (feat. Lauren Osborn, Psyche Chimere & Rhys Owen)

I know a few things about sanity's brink
When you can't trust all you think

I know there's a place
A place I belong
In the carnival, sing me a carnival song

You can't sing that song
There are things it can call
All who sing it soon are gone
I've been there to see
When they finally can't keep
A hold, control of all about you
I'll stop the show, I'm worried for you

If you stop the show
I might blank out and go
And wake when next it starts

I'll be by your side
The whole time if you slide
Or cry, or come apart

Who am I when this all just stops and desists?
Do I even still exist?

I've got you, I swear
I can pause this right here
Take a breath
I'll stop the show
Ready now
Folks!

My town of Vulture Rock was quiet
I was young
Hey, where's the music?

Henry, just wait
There's a thing I'm afraid
I must stop the cabaret

But I've practised for weeks
For this night you can't mean
That you'll ruin this for me

Oh god he's right
He had this coming
He's waited and he's trained
And I cannot take this from him

What if the show cannot be stopped?

Han, stop the crazy talk
We'll let him sing and then we'll end the show

Okay, folks. Finally, Henry the Alchemist sings his big number!

Yay!
Ahem
