[Verse] Neon ghosts in fractured light, Smoke curls slow from a plastic crown. Laughter’s dust on hollow ground, Where the rides still hum but no one’s around. [Pre-Chorus] Echoes crawl through rusted steel, I’m the afterglow, the final wheel. No one sees me, not even me— Just the sound of a world that’s gone free. [Chorus] Faded clown with eyes aglow, Smoking slow behind the bumper cars. I don’t need a laugh, I don’t need a song, Just the beat where the broken hearts belong. Faded clown, no name, no disguise, In this dream I’m no one, and I’m no one’s prize. [Verse] Tires still mark the asphalt track, Candy wrappers drift like ash in wind. The music’s looping, lost, and stark, A memory that never left it in. [Pre-Chorus] The spotlight blinked and gave it all, Now I’m just shadows, playing small. No mask, no paint, no one to cheer— Just the hum of a ghost that still hears. [Chorus] Faded clown with eyes aglow, Smoking slow behind the bumper cars. I don’t need a laugh, I don’t need a song, Just the beat where the broken hearts belong. Faded clown, no name, no disguise, In this dream I’m no one, and I’m no one’s prize. [Bridge] [Backing vocals, layered and distant] C’mon, let it fade… Let it fade… No one’s left to say You’re still here… Still here… [Chorus – final, slower] Faded clown with eyes aglow, Smoking slow behind the bumper cars. I don’t need a laugh, I don’t need a song, Just the beat where the broken hearts belong. Faded clown, no name, no disguise, In this dream I’m no one, and I’m no one’s prize. [Outro] [Fade out on breathy vocal, single synth pulse, distant echo of a carousel tune] No one… No one… Just the beat… Just the beat…
