It's not a merry-go-round
It's a haunted house
And I can't get out
Like a song of sirens
You're sickly satisfied
Knowing I can't hide
It's not a merry-go-round
It's a haunted house
And I can't get out
Like a song of sirens
You're sickly satisfied
Knowing I can't hide
Welcome to the funhouse, the arcade
Once you're in, it's hard to gauge
Bingo, you're in a dark cave
Hope you aren't afraid
Because you're going to meet your deepest fears
Please be clear
If you're scared to face them, you not leavin' here
Voices speakin' in your ear
Telling you to wimp out
Sounds like a pimp's mouth
Manipulates you to a different route
It starts soft and goony
Now it's lookin' dark and spooky
You start to see it's not a cartoon or a movie
Yeah, truly a doozy
Like Dorothy in the tornado
Force too great, you can't say no
Click your heels, try to make it home
Majors stated or disclosed
Time froze like broken watches
But you keep an open option
Roll regardless, but you're cautious
The starting pistol is fired
And the race is on to escape beyond this matrix on your mind
Like an ex-con
You're chiseled through the cave entrance
Sealed off by the avalanche of rocks
Sunlight squeeze through real hot
Won't be long 'til you reach the top
It's not a merry-go-round
It's a haunted house
And I can't get out
Like a song of sirens
You're sickly satisfied
Knowing I can't hide
Bad news, I ain't finished
Who asked you to leave soon?
I don't care if you need room
Meet the groom, you finna see doom
Lead you out into the field of dreams
Better watch out for the wildebeests
That's when terror fills the streets
Uh-huh, now you feelin' me
But wait, this feeling's new
It's like my steel is loose
Like you might be getting loose
Getting out of my tight noose
Yeah, seems you got the right clues
Particularly that this person's poisoned
You escape before I destroy you
Thereby ending my enjoyment
It's not a merry-go-round
It's a haunted house
And I can't get out
Like a song of sirens
You're sickly satisfied
Knowing I can't hide
