[Intro]
Baila conmigo, shadows on the wall
Secrets dancing, watch them rise and fall
[Verse 1]
Abuela's bangles jingle in my dreams
Quinceañera memories, not what they seem
Mama's perfect lies behind her smile
Two families dancing, mile after mile
Venezuelan rhythms in my blood
Fighting with the person that I was
[Chorus]
Carnival ghosts in my DNA
Dancing with the truth I couldn't say
Mascara runs, but I dance anyway
Let the beat wash my shame away
Carnival ghosts, they know my name
Nothing here will ever be the same
[Verse 2]
Upper class princess with dirty feet
Barrio rhythm running through these streets
Found your photos hidden in a drawer
Another vida I can't ignore
Now I'm dancing with my demons tight
Turning all these wrongs into my right
[Bridge]
Let me feel it
Let me be it
All the lies you fed me
Couldn't defeat me
(Baila, baila, baila)
[Chorus]
Carnival ghosts in my DNA
Dancing with the truth I couldn't say
Mascara runs, but I dance anyway
Let the beat wash my shame away
Carnival ghosts, they know my name
Nothing here will ever be the same
[Outro]
Watch me dance between two worlds tonight
Shadows and light, shadows and light
Esta soy yo, no more disguise
These carnival ghosts made me alive
