Carousel

Spinning 'round this room again The overdone verse of the mirror Mockingly brings a chorus to me now Only my laughter out-sings the pressure Here, sanity is kept safe in capsules They see the torment and press the button Shut off the lights, lock the chair And send me spinning again I see the faces in my reflection I see the side of reality unreal to you When you're on the other side It never matters what you say It never matters what you do They'll never believe you Left alone, to be overpowered The silence brings the most noise Open shadows make way for them A horrid rift between the face and the voice Drug-induced peace of mind White-washed concrete walls Lack the linear solace of verse The mattress feels so hard When you're strapped down to it Close my eyes and fall through Embrace the friendly nightmare I reluctantly see as life A word which holds no meaning In what is unfortunately mine It's all the same to me They're all the same to me Dictated ambiance Gelatin-coated prison cell Easier to swallow Easier to drown In the shallow, half-full Dixie cup Back in this room again No matter how hard I stare How many times I spin around The reflection stays the same Because they're not in the mirror They're not in the mirror I'm not the crazy one
