Cirque de Peculiar

WARNING: This song has what I consider to be a very adult, dark, psychopath theme to it!

Cirque de Peculiar

Intro:

(Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls

Step right inside to see the out-of-this-world!

Within this tent you'll find wondrous things

This is the Cirque de Peculiar, home of the strange!!)

Song:

Every hour, every minute, I find myself trapped in a whirlwind

Of never-ending sickness, every thought is met with second guesses

Ashes! Ashes! Slowly I fall down!

I clutch my crooked cures, seeking freedom from my paranoia

For I can't bear it anymore, this storm surge of hysteria

With every moment I descend further into this abyss

These demons, they won't relent, the crystal ball has been broken

In desperation, I seek salvation in a magenta sky of candy clouds

But as the illusion is concluded, I'm left screaming for a way out

Mayday! Mayday! The ship is slowly sinking!

Something save me from this, put me in a state of psychosis

To pull me from the whispers of this malevolent hypnosis

With every moment I descend further into this abyss

These demons, they won't relent, the crystal ball has been broken

A flash flood of anxiety is drowning me in deadly disease

Can somebody rescue me from the skeletons haunting my dreams?!

Ashes! Ashes!  Mama, we all go to hell!

Mayday! Mayday! Never mind, everything is fine

They don't end, the hallucinations, they're such beautiful creations

My endless hyperventilation is such an euphoric sensation

(Don't save me!  Don't save me!)

Crooked cures, paranoia, storm surge of hysteria

(Everything is alright!)

(Don't save me! Don't save me!)

Anxiety, deadly disease, skeletons haunting my dreams

(Everything is alright!)

With every moment I descend further into this abyss

(Laladada, fe-fi-fo-fum!)

These demons, they won't relent, the crystal ball has been broken

(Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!)

A flash flood of anxiety is drowning me in deadly disease

(Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...)

Nobody can rescue me from the skeletons haunting my dreams!

(...Your are all going to have a fantastic time!)

Outro:

(...We are live at the Cirque de Peculiar...)

(...With a truly disturbing discovery at the Cirque de Peculiar...)

(...Police have confirmed that, altogether, 51 adults and children have been killed, many more seriously injured, and three children are missing...)

(...It is now being called one of the biggest mass murders in recent years...)

(...The Ringmaster, who is suspected to be behind the killing, has yet to be found...)

(...Police are unsure as to what his motives were for this crime.  If you have seen this man, or these children, please contact authorities immediately...)

A very creative dark song. You did a fabulous job on this piece.
I enjoyed reading the dark tale in this, and the shocking ending.
This would make a great song. You're very very creative!!

[DoormanDan]

I'm really glad you like this! I was just going to have this be another song at first, but then the story idea popped into my head at the last minute, and I just thought, "Hmm..." lol :)

[Amber Lily]

YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS SONG!!! This is utter madness come to life on a page, and the words are only the first dimension. Adding some sick and twisted guitar noises would take this darkness to a whole new level. This is probably my favorite song of yours that I've read so far! Keep the magic and the madness coming!!!

[DoormanDan]

I'm really glad you like it, I thought you would(since I read on your page that you like dark writing). I really do want to make this into a song someday :)

[Amber Lily]

Dark writing I think is one of the deepest glimpses you can get into someone's mind, because whether we like it or not, we're all mad ;) I really do think it would make a great song, I hope it gets there!

[Lizardo]

Dude, make the freaking song. I was reading this a guitar thing pop in my as I read it xD
I enjoyed this a lot, what an awesome intro by the way xD this is really good Dan, the song, the colors, the lyrics, I didn't even know if you had writer's block xD this seems so uplifting... It's an awesome write!
Great with this one Dan, although coming from you, I'm not surprise :)

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for the review Lizardo, but this song is anything BUT uplifting. this is about a Ringmaster at a newly opened circus who suffers from many different mental health problems, and on the day of opening the circus, he snaps, and goes on a killing spree.

[Lizardo]

Really? but I felt it that way... Sorry for my mistake then

[DoormanDan]

It's alright, it's easy to misinterpret. Did you see the outro on this? The dark meaning of the song isn't revealed until you read the outro :)

[Lizardo]

That is true, now that I read it closely, it is true. Sorry Dan :(

[DoormanDan]

Haha, it's alright! Don't worry about it :)

[Valentine]

Not what I would have expected from you. Switch your mind to positive thoughts and good things. You can write much more positive than this. Valentine

[DoormanDan]

I know that I can do that, but if my mind doesn't feel like writing something positive, I don't do that, because it doesn't feel right. I never try to hold my mind in one specific place, I just go with it. Thanks for reviewing :)
