[Intro] Look at the sky, it’s a dreamy delight, Colors dripping softly in the pale twilight. (Hum along, sway to the beat) Taste the sugar, bitter and sweet. [Verse 1] Cotton candy clouds, painting over grey, Hide the cracks in the canvas, keep the storm at bay. The carousel spins, oh, it’s such a ride, But the horses are hollow, and there’s nowhere to hide. [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, don’t slow down, (Smile wide, don’t let them frown.) Every step a little steep, Shiny masks to secrets keep. [Chorus] Cotton candy skies, covering the cries, (Sing it loud, laugh tonight,) forget the hollow lies. Life’s a carnival, don’t let the truth arise, Oh, cotton candy skies, where the darkness hides. [Verse 2] Popcorn popping dreams, bursting in the air, Sticky fingers holding on to promises unfair. Every win’s a gamble, every prize a trick, The sweetness fades to ash; it vanishes so quick. [Pre-Chorus] Spin the wheel, place your bets, (Fake the joy, ignore regrets.) Hold on tight, don’t let it show, The brighter it shines, the darker it’ll go. [Chorus] Cotton candy skies, covering the cries, (Sing it loud, laugh tonight,) forget the hollow lies. Life’s a carnival, don’t let the truth arise, Oh, cotton candy skies, where the darkness hides. [Bridge] (Clap your hands, shout hooray,) It’s a show, don’t look away. Underneath the fairy lights, Shadows dance in hungry bites. Step right up, the game’s begun, (Smile, pretend you’re having fun!) [Chorus] Cotton candy skies, covering the cries, (Sing it loud, laugh tonight,) forget the hollow lies. Life’s a carnival, don’t let the truth arise, Oh, cotton candy skies, where the darkness hides. [Outro] When the tent comes down, and the music fades, You’re left with a silence you can’t evade. (Whisper softly, let it go,) The sweetest lies are the ones we know.
