[Intro] Steps on velvet, echoes fall Words unsaid behind the wall Spinning doors and paper moons Crimson shadows cross the room [Verse 0] Pale reflections in my tea Dusty patterns, incomplete Ghosts recite the empty creed Trading names for what they need [Verse 1] Gold-lined hallway, numbers fade Scribbled riddles hiding in the shade Footsteps tapping through the wax-lit hall Turning portraits face the wall [Pre-Chorus] Smoke and silence, breathing slow Every face, a mask I know [Chorus] I've seen the faces in the black parade Trading secrets in a silent charade Shadowed figures drift across my mind Searching for a truth the world won't find [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Verse 2] Cold hands touch the rusted door Painted laughter stains the floor Memories flicker, twist, and turn Silver ashes still refuse to burn [Pre-Chorus] Through the mirror, walking slow Where I end, nobody knows [Chorus] I've seen the faces in the black parade Trading secrets in a silent charade Shadowed figures drift across my mind Searching for a truth the world won't find [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Bridge] Curtained windows counting time Lipstick warnings in a crooked line Puppets dangle over polished stone Humming secrets all alone [Verse 3] Empty suitcase, open wide Half-truths tangled deep inside Spirals drawn along the faded tile Tracing questions for a while [Pre-Chorus] Masks in motion, moving slow Turning faces I once know [Chorus] I've seen the faces in the black parade Trading secrets in a silent charade Shadowed figures drift across my mind Searching for a truth the world won't find [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Outro] Curtains drawing, shadows blend Answers hidden round each bend Silent laughter in the stairwell air Leaving questions hanging there Footprints fade, dissolve in light Yesterday slips out of sight Turning slowly, doors remain Always searching, still the same [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Coda] Paint peels softly from the frame Hallways fold into a name Silent keeper, pass me by Puzzle pieces dressed in sky [Refrain] Empty corners, open doors Follow shadows, nothing more [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Outro II] Clock hands drifting without sound Paper stories swirling round Hands in pockets, eyes half closed Follow shadows no one knows [Pre-Chorus] Empty stairways, moving slow Familiar footsteps where I go [Chorus] I've seen the faces in the black parade Trading secrets in a silent charade Shadowed figures drift across my mind Searching for a truth the world won't find [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Verse 4] Shuttered windows, threadbare dreams Worn out logic splits the seams Cracks in reason quietly expand Folding secrets in my hand [Pre-Chorus] Faded faces drifting slow Turning tides I used to know [Chorus] I've seen the faces in the black parade Trading secrets in a silent charade Shadowed figures drift across my mind Searching for a truth the world won't find [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Finale] Lantern flickers in the gloom Shadows scatter from the room Fade away on slippered feet Endless journey in repeat [Finale] Lantern flickers in the gloom Shadows scatter from the room Fade away on slippered feet Endless journey in repeat [Post-Chorus] Round and round Down we go Round and round Lost below [Afterword] A sigh behind forgotten doors Ink stains left on marbled floors Old illusions crowd the stair Vanished answers in the air [Tag] Quiet footsteps, leaving slow All thatβs hidden, all you know Dust unsettles, drifting on One more secret, almost gone
