The Masquerade of Candy Wires
Bizarre Bathtub Battle
Faces glow in the glass
Shadows wait, they pass
Candy words in a thread
Smiles painted, innocence is dead
A mirror room, no exit
A circus mask, they wear it
Mask task, they play all day
Sweet cheat, they fade away
Play prey, the strings obey
Fake snake, in candy clay
(Play, prey, play, prey)
Polished words, venom hide
Gilded gates, open wide
Moth to flame, blindfold flight
Harlequin's laugh in night
A mirror room, no exit
A circus mask, they wear it
Mask task, they play all day
Sweet cheat, they fade away
Play prey, the strings obey
Fake snake, in candy clay
Sweet cheat, play prey
Silken traps they thread
Lies dance on strings of lead
Eyes blind, hearts undone
The carnival is fun
A mirror room, no exit
A circus mask, they wear it
Mask task, they play all day
Sweet cheat, they fade away
Play prey, the strings obey
Fake snake, in candy clay
Behind each screen, glass teeth bite
Soft as silk, but eyes ignite
A whisper, a click, a fall
The masque consume them all
