Chapter 25 - zora music video that's all folks

(Intro)(Upbeat, bouncy, carnival-like synth music plays, contrasting heavily with a dark, heavy bassline)(Verse 1)Got a smile painted wide on a cardboard faceWalking the tightrope all over the placeThe cameras are rolling, the spotlights are brightBut the ink in my veins is turning to nightI built up a giant, a massive careerOut of masking the panic and swallowing fearA cartoonish grin for the crowd in the standsWhile the puppet strings blister and bloody my hands(Pre-Chorus)Oh, look at him go, he's a star, he's a hit!Just ignore all the pieces that never quite fitThey love the routine, they applaud the displayWhile I drink down the venom that wastes me away(Chorus)It's poison, it's poison, pouring down from the crownThe higher they lift me, the deeper I drownA toxic reminder of things that I've doneRunning from shadows while chasing the sunYeah, it's poison, it's poison, it's all that I knowA colorful cage at the center of the showI'm trapped in the reruns of mistakes that I madeA funny little drawing that's starting to fade(Verse 2)I was the one who poisoned the wellWrote my own script for this animated hellI hurt who I loved just to stay on the screenThe cruelest director that you've ever seenNow I'm choking on habits I can't seem to breakFeeding the monster for everyone's sakeA brightly washed canvas covering grimeDoing the wrong thing time after time(Pre-Chorus)Oh, look at him go, he's a star, he's a hit!Just ignore all the pieces that never quite fitThey love the routine, they applaud the displayWhile I drink down the venom that wastes me away(Chorus)It's poison, it's poison, pouring down from the crownThe higher they lift me, the deeper I drownA toxic reminder of things that I've doneRunning from shadows while chasing the sunYeah, it's poison, it's poison, it's all that I knowA colorful cage at the center of the showI'm trapped in the reruns of mistakes that I madeA funny little drawing that's starting to fade(Bridge)(Music slows down, stripping away the cheerful synth, leaving only a melancholy piano)Cut to black. Cue the rain.Can a caricature feel this much pain?I'm the joke, I'm the punchline, the cautionary taleA high-flying rocket that's destined to failI did this to Zora. I built my own cage.And now I can't seem to step off of the stage.(Guitar/Synth Solo - High energy, chaotic, sounding almost like an old video game glitching out)(Chorus)(Full instrumentation blasts back in, heavy and desperate)It's poison, it's poison, pouring down from the crownThe higher they lift me, the deeper I drownA toxic reminder of things that I've doneRunning from shadows while chasing the sunYeah, it's poison, it's poison, it's all that I knowA colorful cage at the center of the showI'm trapped in the reruns of mistakes that I madeA funny little drawing that's starting to fade(Outro)(The music slows down drastically, sounding like a music box winding down)Just a drawing...Fade to grey.That's all folks...For today.(A sharp, sudden electronic zap, then silence)
