Will you ride the carousel?
I know you know me far too well
To leave me be inside my head
Turning your blue, blue skies to red
I want to live in silent light
Without a window on the night
To reel in wriggling all my muses
And abuse them, true to life
Have you gone blind with all the blinding light you seek?
I'm writing it down but it won't let me speak
Liar
One day she flew into
The burning heart of everything we are
Swept into the dustbin
Lord, I want a giant's grave
I want to live inside the rain
To be forever bursting with no pain
And hang from the horizon
Well, I'm not here, I'm always gone away
Are you a festival or a fire in the street?
I'm picking it up but I won't let it speak
Liar
Gone away, have you gone to stay?
And you carried the light of day away
I'm picking it up with nothing to say
Right now
I've been told I'm a hole cut out of a circle of grass
I've been told that I breathe holy fire in the dark of the underpass
But I've been thinking that I might just be an architect of hornets' nests
And every word will never leave my chest
Gone away, have you gone to stay?
And you carried the light of day away
I'm picking it up but it won't let me speak
Right now
