Mania's Carnival Throne

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
