Painted Over Cracks

(Original Song by BIZZYNICCI)

Lyrics

Step right up
Don’t trip on the cracks
They’re decorative
Painted over facts
Bright lights, big smiles
Tightrope lies
Everyone swears
This is fine

Spin the wheel
Win a prize
Lose accountability
Roll the dice
Call it bold
Call it brave
Ignore the math
And raise the stakes

I tried to tell you
Soft and slow
But warnings don’t sell
So here we go

Clap your hands
Watch it shake
It’s not collapsing
It’s just “growing pains”
Wind it up
Let it play
Same routine
Different face

I don’t panic
I point
There’s a difference
But it ruins the fun
I don’t scream
I don’t beg
I just stop pretending
This was ever stable

Welcome in
Take a seat
Sign the waiver
Skip the read
If it snaps
If it falls
Don’t ask who
Built it all

You call it vision
I call it thin
You call it faith
I call it spin
You keep betting
On applause
I keep watching
The support rods

I don’t break the ride
I read the signs
I don’t fear the drop
I know the timing
You say “trust us”
Like it’s a spell
But confidence
Isn’t structural

So smile wide
Enjoy the show
Act surprised
When it finally goes
If this feels loud
If this feels fast
That’s the sound
Of borrowed time cracking

I’ll be outside
When the lights go out
With my name intact
And my balance found
You can keep the tickets
Keep the crown
I already stepped off
Before it came down
