On this carousel
You and I
Ringing bells
Time passes byScorching bulbs
Ornate bobbing horsies
Enchanting music
Tell of magical storiesI am here
On this side
You are there
Same bloody rideOpposite ends
Placed we two
We can't see
But each other we knewFriendly peeks
Directed to you
All I could afford
Keep you in viewStill rotating
Ride goes on
Chasing each other
No closer we've drawnEnjoy the ride
Soak in the sights
Hold at bay
Reality that bitesThought about
Getting off
Don't know how to
Come to a solveCan't hold still
It's eating me alive
Can't just stay
Have to striveHand still holding on
One foot dangling
Second thoughts play
But bent on releasingTake the first step
Don't overthink
Take the leap
Step off the brinkClose my eyes
Time is now
Just let go
Fate I must allowReady now
Time came to a freeze
one...two...
three...releaseNow off the carousel
Cloying uncertainty
Never been here
Unknown territoryIn the music
Found familiarity
Unsure if here
Is where I want to beWhat do I do?
Wait a little more?
Hop back on?
Or await what's in store?Glad I waited
Glad patience I found
There you are...
Coming back roundI hop back on
Just to find you again
Hopping right off
the other endYou seem happier
Tethered to the the ground
So I guess I'll forever
Spin round and round*Madness plays in loops...
A sick little spin on the carousel.
He is my madness*
