Carousel

Her wake is pulling me in

As the light grows tragically dim

And my words like air wearing thin



'cause I don't have what you're needing

My heart is barely beating now



In circles evading my breath

I'm unwound in usual text

As the opposite of optimist



When my words all slip right through you

When I wish they'd sink into you

And never let you go

No never let you go



To ask what purpose is for

As my foot slips out of the door

Well at least it's been there before



'cause I don't know what you're needing

I'm live but barely breathing



Instead of climbed I fell

Off your carousel

So good-bye good luck oh well

I'm off your carousel
