Mania's Carnival Flame

Lyrics

I’m losing sense, illusions dense, the mental fence is breaking No vacant space, I’m bracing for mania’s pace, heart quaking Thoughts racing, chasing shadows that only rattle the calm Fighting alarm with charm, forging chaos into a psalm Cackling at the friction, twisted diction fueling affliction Addiction to contradiction, I’m flipping what’s in my vision Blistered by mania’s mania, carnivals swirl in my brain Flickering images strain, unchained, I can’t contain the pain I drain a flood of impulses, pulses jam the map in my head No thread of sanity left, I’m left dancing on the dread Spread illusions thick, I pick fights with my own reflection A contradiction of self-protection, infected by misdirection I laugh at my meltdown, meltdown molds me anew Something to prove? I move in loops, confused but pushing through I bruise illusions daily, frantic but forging a grin The din within is thick, I flick a spark to let me begin Twisting reason in the midnight season, unleashing a beast Each feast of mania conceals a piece of calm, at least I roam in neon nightmares, slights glare bright in my mind I sign my name in static lines, fractal times get redefined A kind of mania mania, painting patterns I never planned A frantic brand of logic, a frantic vantage I can’t withstand My thoughts expand, a harsh demand for me to stand on glass Splinters slash my path, but I laugh ’cause I’m free at last Crazed and amazed by these mazes, phases shift with each step I kept a locked chest of mania, mania I now accept I intercept illusions, fuse confusion with honest brash No crash can smash the stash of twisted truths I thrash I dash through the clash of paradox, fox in a phantom cage Flick the gauge, erupt with rage, then turn the page on this stage I’m carnival flames, I’m tamed by no frame, I claim outer space Skewed pace in place, a savage grace laced with mania’s embrace I chase illusions of grandeur, brand your sense with cryptic swirl Hurl reason aside, let madness guide each bright black pearl Inside the whirl, I’m hurled across uncertain frequency Redeeming me or demeaning me? Each spree redefines the key Detonate the threshold, behold the meltdown’s threshold Twofold illusions revolve, no problem I can’t dissolve Resolve grows in the madness, blackness flares into sparks Embark on arcs of mania, mania leaves mirrored marks I harness the stark dark, an art that cracks every boundary No foundry can contain me; insane but forging sound so free
