Lonely Carousel

It's a look
This game we play
We can't escape
We have to attend
It's life you see
When i have tried to amuse myself
To celebrate the fun fair
The pleasures i seek
Are far too discreet for me
And all the time
The world unwinds
I can't deny the way i feel
The truth is lost beyond this lonely carousel
And all these words
They mean nothing at all
Just a cruel remedy
A strange tragedy
Of what will be
After i tried
To discover the answers to why
To look for a meaning
Inside of this dreaming i had
And words that i've said
Are spinning 'round
Would sing alone inside my head
Nothing will change
It's always the same
Please make it stop
And all the time
The world unwinds
I can't deny the way i feel
The truth is lost beyond this lonely carousel
And all these words
They mean nothing at all
Just a cruel remedy
A strange tragedy
Of what will be
And all the time
The world unwinds
I can't deny the way i feel
The truth is lost beyond this carousel
