Lyrics
INTRO — THE NAME THEY GAVE HIM THE JESTER KING: They called me freak. Oh, that name is sweet. Hah-hah-hah… haaa… the word still bleeds. A cracked crown tilts on crooked flame, Every laugh rewrites my name. VERSE 1 — THE MASK BECOMES A WEAPON THE JESTER KING: You stitched my smile into disguise, A paper mask, a swarm of lies. But every sneer is fuel I crave, Your stage, my fire; your world, my grave. Heh, heh… HA-HA-hah… khh! PRE-CHORUS 1 — FEED THE FIRE THE JESTER KING: Mock me louder, make me scream, Every wound feeds this dream. CHORUS 1 — THE FREAK’S CROWN THE JESTERS’ CHOIR: Call me freak, I’ll wear the crown, Laughing louder as you drown. Broken mirrors sing in me, A throne of ash, eternally. THE JESTER DOLL: HA! HAAA! Hah-hahhh! POST-CHORUS — THE CARNIVAL CHANT THE JESTERS’ CHOIR: Freak… freak… THE JESTER KING: Hah-hah-hah-hah… THE JESTERS’ CHOIR: Freak… freak… THE JESTER KING: Hah-hah-hah-hah… VERSE 2 — THE JESTER’S REVENGE THE JESTER KING: You carved the word into my skin, Now every scar becomes my grin. The jest you feared, the crown you hate, The freak you forged decides your fate. THE JESTER DOLL: “Knock, knock. Who’s there?” HA-ha-hah-hah-hah! PRE-CHORUS 2 — EVERY SHARD IS A CROWN THE JESTER KING: Mock me louder, tear me down, Every shard becomes my crown. CHORUS 2 — THE CROWN OF ASH THE JESTERS’ CHOIR: Call me freak, I’ll wear the crown, Laughing louder as you drown. Broken mirrors sing in me, A throne of ash, eternally. THE JESTER DOLL: HA! HAAA! Hah-hahhh! INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — THE CARNIVAL COMES APART LAUGHTER FRAGMENTS: THE JESTER KING: Dance with me… VOID POCKET — THE QUESTION IN THE DARK THE JESTER KING, DISTANT WHISPER: Do you see me…? Do you see me…? BRIDGE — THE FREAK BENEATH THE GRIN THE JESTER KING: The crown is ash, the smile’s reborn, A carnival curse, a law of scorn. Teeth of glass, a stage of knives, I laugh to keep the freak alive. FINAL CHORUS — THE JESTER’S CORONATION THE JESTERS’ CHOIR: Call me freak, ignite the flame, Your broken word, my chosen name. Ashes fall, but I remain, The freak enthroned in endless reign. THE JESTER DOLL: Hah-hah-hah-hah! OUTRO — THE ETERNAL GRIN THE JESTER KING: Still laughing… Ha… ha… Still laughing… Ha… ha… Freak… Still laughing… Ha… ha… ——— © 2025 IRINNA QUINN. All rights reserved.
