{Verse 1}
You’re talking to yourself again
Behind deadened eyes
Seeing ghosts and imaginary friends
Your grip starts to slip again
You’re up and down, hot and cold
Living make-believe and play pretend
{Chorus}
Helter-skelter, spiralling down
Your skeletal armour won’t save you now
Ugly carcass, a padded cell
Keep me in the darkness, under your spell
{Verse 2}
Lost in your carnival again
Drowning in a hall of mirrors
Body shaking like you hit a dead end
A masquerade, a false pretence
Use your outside face
So nobody sees your dark intent
{Chorus}
Helter-skelter, spiralling down
Your skeletal armour won’t save you now
Ugly carcass, a padded cell
Keep me in the darkness, under your spell
{Bridge}
Within my subconscious, a mental unrest
Keep me in the darkness as the horrors manifest
Psychosomatic sickness
My sanity breaks and bends
Somewhere along the spectrum
I’m playing play pretend
{Outro}
Within my subconscious
Unforgiving mental fight
Somewhere in the darkness
I crave it, tonight
