Circus 🎪 of teeth

Lyrics

[Intro – whispered, backwards-masked calliope over sub-bass:]

> (“Is it my birthday or my burial?”)




---

[Verse 1 – glitched vocals with pitch drop:]
🎪
There's a clown in the drainpipe suckin' on wires,
He hums in 7/8 time and sets the swings on fire.
Lollipop lungs and a jaw full of bees,
He sells trauma for tickets at the festival of knees.


---

[Chorus – screamed by a children’s choir with distortion:]
🩸
🎈 BALLOONS FULL OF TEETH,
Floating over grief!
They bite when you lie,
And they smile when you scream!
🎈 BALLOONS FULL OF TEETH—
Pop ‘em and bleed belief!
It’s a party in the void
And you’re the feast.


---

[Verse 2 – spoken word over a theremin-trap beat:]
They built a seesaw out of spinal cords,
Played duck-duck-goose with forgotten lords.
A carousel spins, but it only goes down,
Every pony has a mirror for a crown.


---

[Bridge – industrial circus breakdown:]
(Chainsaw calliope solo)
🛠️ "HONK IF YOU’VE LOST TIME!"
🛠️ "SCREAM IF YOU REMEMBER THE DREAM!"
🛠️ "EVERY COTTON CANDY CLOUD IS A CURSE!"


---

[Final Chorus – autotuned lament with Gregorian echo:]
🎈 BALLOONS FULL OF TEETH,
Now they speak in motifs...
Your birthday cake’s a portal,
And the clown is your grief.

🎈 BALLOONS FULL OF TEETH—
Float above the belief.
Pop one, lose a memory...
Pop two, find what's underneath.

[Outro – silence, followed by 3 seconds of dolphin screech, reversed.]
