Carnival of Souls

We're all dolls with soulless eyes
Springs and gears and twisted wires
All the things that you despise
Wrapped up in what you admire

We paint our face like porcelain
Smiles worn are paper thin
Fragile like glass, easy to break
Hearts made of stone
Truth is, we're fake

Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
The carnival of souls
Hope you enjoy the show
Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
To the carnival

We're all just playing
At the carnival
So come on, pick your game
It's time lock and load
Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
To the carnival

Pretty broken
Will you take your photograph
Lenses shattered
Pure distortion at its finest
Underneath your surface
Hiding in the cracks
A once unique mind dormant
Veritable and honest

We're all puppets in this show
Letting others pull our strings
Fading as we go
But if we took our power back
We could be just what we want
There's nothing we would lack

Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
The carnival of souls
Hope you enjoy the show
Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
To the carnival

We're all just playing
At the carnival
So come on, pick your game
It's time lock and load
Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
To the carnival

Every day's like Halloween
As we pretend to be something we're not
When did we stop being ourselves
I guess that's something that we forgot
Everybody dressed up as Frankenstein
As we assemble figures
That we think divine
A walking corpse
We fall in line
Try not to die
But are you really alive
You've got more blood on your hands Than a quinton terantino flick
So fake and unrecognizable
That it makes me feel so sick
Is that what you want
Is that what you need
Is this the life that you will lead
Or maybe it's the vision that you still see
So take my hand and come with me

Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
The carnival of souls
Hope you enjoy the show
Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
To the carnival

We're all just playing
At the carnival
So come on, pick your game
It's time lock and load
Welcome, welcome
To the carnival
To the carnival
