Carousel Lyrics

Break the final opportunity in pieces

Try to save one for the last afforded day

Ruminate in revolutions 'round the nulling

Solve a space for what the closing door forswears the breath to say

Has the avenue in front of you begun to open

Wider than the bricks there laid allow

Or the opposite, the freedom's counterfeit

So dress the hollowed hopes in heavy chains and drag them past the shallows

From a glance I caught before I knew the eyes belonged to you

Queued among the masked and many winding through

It dawned, you navigated back from worlds abroad

Finessed the odds and now our silvered selves were fresh debuted

With twice the life lived, a whole one happened out of sight

And consonant's the call for a harmony that might fit a damaged complement

The watercolours start to run in rambling rain

Ache divides to art

It struck with such surprise then split my head in two

Illusions and levities folded at the fore, the autumn queen withdrew

That's fair and paints a quite familiar fool

A fall rehearsed, this echo only built you more guilt

Spin, return attention there before the tear

Where words are baby birds, afraid to fly

Instead of buoyant gestures burned to warm the air

Disrespect, manipulate, and lie

Could then your heart reply

Unthinkable, unthinkable

I could not help but picture how the river'd bend

Towards this trio steaming buns 'round the workaday wend

Not so, no chungus among us, shy vines shun leaves and all

Roots steeped in the shifting sands back to your wherewithal

Reduced from friend

To junk human

Unstirred's the purpose

To be known again

No withered pretend

Unperson, the end
