Mary and the Amusement Park
Triple-scooped, one atop the other
The very, very pale ice cream
Melted under the sizzling day
In my frantic hands.
A demon in the guise of a kind person, all smiles,
Cast a spell on you
And, brainwashed, you dropped
Your hand from mine.
The sky turns dark, the birds spring away.
Once I'm led out the sanatorium,
With full hypocrisy, and smiles pasted on,
The demon offered me
Arabel's contract.
"You do want to save that little girl, don't you?"
That's right—that's how, long long ago,
Right then, for your sake, I
Bartered away my soul.
Never-seen-before! Slam through the ticket gates
Onto the ferris wheel!
Now then, aim high for the Rising Sun and
A catharsis.
Lock on hypocrisy, jump and swing around on
The spinning teacups.
Now, it's time I open the door.
Rattling, ringing hollow, hung out to dry,
My mental capacities
Have zero hope of recovery
Without a stimulus.
I'll take your small hand and escape
Away from this amusement park.
Turn your dead eyes away from this place
We've rebelled with our lives.
The answer's worked out and fully developed
But nevertheless I'm weighed and crushed with remorse.
Human, I am not.
Human, I can't be.
Rife with errors beyond rectification
Bound in a contract with no expiration date
But who am I to let it all crush me?
I took you away, and made a break for it.
If you dare fool the demon,
You could only be human.
My ancestors, on the morn, call 911 for the
Haunted House
Come forth, brave and resolute Francis!
Here they come onstage, our heroes of the Milky Way
Putting on a show.
Now, it's time to change the future.
No matter how many I shake off, how many I outrun,
Her curse still pursues us.
Everything's all right, it'll all be okay,
I say again and again for you.
Up the spiral stairs, winding round and round
To the peak of the castle.
We're here at long last, and this is where
The story will come to an end.
Fair and square, before the fortress of a
Turning carousel.
For three thousand leagues I've pulled on your hand to finally make it here.
A flicker and a flash—that's the shutter snapping
For the roller coaster.
Now, I'm going to save the world.
A superb development unfolds: alarms are flooding
Aschenputtel's Castle!
The boy beams a smile more sinister than the demon.
Beaming in innocence, cheeks stuffed with caramels
In this amusement park.
I'll cut this chain of negativities
Tear apart the contract.
And now
It's time I work a miracle.
