[Intro]
Candy on the counter
smile like a crack in glass
Dripping red sugar on the floor
(come closer… just a little more)
[Verse 1]
Heard a laugh in the lollipop fog
Baron Bonbon stalks in the smog
Powder on his gloves, stain on his teeth
Gift-wrapped grief in a box so sweet
Peppermint smoke in the air, it stings
Jawbreak eyes, see everything
Hearts get heavy as the taffy pulls
Once you taste that treat, he’s full
[Chorus]
Welcome to Candy Land carnage
Where the wrappers hide the damage
Baron got a bite so charming
Sweet on the tongue, then starving
They thought it was a game, now they’re praying
Chewing on fear, what he’s craving
Every pretty piece on the platter
Sugar on your lips, bones on the ladder (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Mr. Mint in the peppermint grove
Whistles once, that’s the code
“Got a fresh batch walking the path”
Licorice leash, wrapping ‘round fast
Gumdrop trail, lead ‘em straight to the gate
Chocolate smile, say it’s fate
Carousel spins, can’t step off
Cotton candy clouds turn cough
[Chorus]
Welcome to Candy Land carnage
Where the wrappers hide the damage
Baron got a bite so charming
Sweet on the tongue, then starving
They thought it was a game, now they’re praying
Chewing on fear, what he’s craving
Every pretty piece on the platter
Sugar on your lips, bones on the ladder (oh)
[Bridge]
They whisper his name when the lights drip low
“Don’t take a treat, don’t let it show”
But hunger talks louder than fear in the chest
One small bite, he’ll do the rest (shh)
Candy cane cross for the ones that stayed
Marshmallow graves in the fudge arcade
Mr. Mint calls, and the Baron obeys
“Time to feed” on the lost and strayed
[Chorus]
Welcome to Candy Land carnage
Where the wrappers hide the damage
Baron got a bite so charming
Sweet on the tongue, then starving
They thought it was a game, now they’re praying
Chewing on fear, what he’s craving
Every pretty piece on the platter
Sugar on your lips, bones on the ladder (Baron…)
