Carnival Of Fools
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Terrible day when you walked out on me
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know who to be
The words were gone, no emotion would come
I was deaf, I was dumb
I was blind all along
"I just want to see you
I don't want to leave you"
Carnivals of fools!
We took a chance and we gambled with fate
Tried on each other's skins
We just couldn't wait
The game was fixed, it was hexed from the start
You were burning with light
I was shot in the dark
"All those stupid lovers
Drowning with each other
'Til they find another"
At the carnivals of fools!
We lose ourselves in another soul
Hungry for the dreams they hold
You set me free from the ghost in me
You set me free
You set me free
Now that you say it, I was obsessed with myself
I was obsessed with myself
I couldn't see no one else
The sky was green and the buildings were blue
There was a glow around you
There always was around you
"Vanity will blind you
Trouble always find you
Disaster's right behind you"
At the carnivals of fools!
