I Want to Get Off This Carousel

Round and round, the shadows call

Silent wheels in darkness crawl

Spinning tales of innocent grace

Lost within this haunted space

A gentle tune begins to play

A child's laughter in decay

Climbing aboard with eyes so wide

An endless ride I can't deny

See the wild beasts come alive

In the mirrors, how they thrive

Flames flicker in the hollow halls

Echoes of a distant knell

I want to get off this carousel

Spinning stories I can't fulfill

Madness in a minor tune

Caught beneath a ghostly moon

Now I glimpse the secret scenes

Warehouses burning, shattered dreams

Other worlds beyond the seam

Dark abyss or waking scream

Can I ever find my way?

From the curse I can't betray?

Off this twisted merry-go-round

Or forever to be bound?

Oh, I want to get off this carousel

Spinning stories I can't fulfill

Madness in a minor tune

Caught beneath a ghostly moon

The ride stops cold, I step away

Turn around, see decay

A broken dream, a hollow shell

How could I have ridden that carousel?

Once I was trapped in a hollow ring

Now I walk away, but wonder things

Was it real, or just a spell?

How I rode that endless carousel
