Carnival

(album: Maps Of Non-Existent Places - 2014)

The view from your porch in this beautiful place
To keep your front door open
To see things so clearly
To learn from mistakes
To show them all you're fearless
Can't fade into the background
Far too strong to keep down
I wish you would try

Won't you get it through your head?
The carnival is ending and everyone is gone
So now you know
So tired of pretending
This is not what it means to be unknown
So smoke another one
Debating on the bait
To cast it all away
To loosen up the chains so we can breathe a bit
So tired of

The view from your porch in this beautiful place
To see things so clearly
Silent for too long, my biggest mistake
You can be sure it's over
Can't take all of the back roads
Wherever I go, I won't be alone

Won't you get it through your head?
The carnival is ending and everyone is gone
So now you know
So tired of pretending
This is not what it means to be unknown
Unknown
So smoke another one
Debating on the bait
To cast it all away
To loosen up the chains so we can breathe a bit
So tired of

One more time, you know this is where
Where you could be if you wanted
Come to find, you know this is where
Where you could be if you wanted
You know

Know the one
Know the one to blame
No one
No one's to blame

Won't you get it through your head?
The carnival is ending and everyone is gone
So now you know
So tired of pretending
This is not what it means to be unknown
Unknown
So smoke another one
Debating on the bait
To cast it all away
To loosen up the chains so we can breathe a bit

So tired of the unattainable
The unattainable
