The Carousel 06:26
When the night falls My mind begins to race Back to those times of joy They seems so far away Now it seems as though This world has lost its way Please let me find the strength To make it through this day Like scenes from a novel No hope for tomorrow This carousel goes round and round There is no getting off Now the lunatics are running all our lives Moving backwards..We use to be so wise Its like we closed our eyes to all that we have done We've given all the fools a fully loaded gun Like scenes from a novel No hope for tomorrow This carousel goes round and round There is no getting off When ..When will it end When will this madness go away Now..Now i can see We shut the door on whats to be Hope..Hope is a word That our children find obsurd Run..Run for the door There's nothing here to see no more Like scenes from a novel No hope for tomorrow This carousel goes round and round There is no getting off Is this how it ends? The future in distress No hope for mankind Kiss this world goodbye

Without You 06:00
I am two men, fighting again, with counter incentive. We're both abhorred, heading towards a sea of broken memories. It's a sign of your strength, a sign of my weakness. You're the logic behind my completeness. Would you take hold of this old blindfold and burn it to cinders? I'll bruise my knees, I'll cry my pleas, rid this disease until next time. I'll hold your shell in my hands and pretend you're a missile, You're the key to a better survival. And I know I'd be wounded and broken without you, Like a castaway depleted on the rocks. Everyday would be painful and dismal without you, I could fade away until my heart says stop. You're the blood in my veins, the cure for my senses. I'm the blot on a perfect consensus. You enter my blood and everything's real once again.
 You swim through my veins, and blow your smoke to my brain.
 You're dangerous, I know, but I won't abuse you.
 You're perilous, I know, but I won't misuse you.

Another passer by, another spinning cheek, Another arrow through my heart.
 Just walk on by and leave me by the road Like I'm some kind of pavement art.
 What is going on in this world today? Less and less can give a shit.
 Yeah fend for yourselves by all means but pull my face from off the grit. All our beds are made by these erudite brains, 
By suits they douse in liquid insane. 
They spew our tears down executive drains, 
And adorn us with false praise and disdain. We need what we want and want what we need And no one's getting in our way.
 We're sorry for your pain, we're sorry for your plight But not enough to make your day. 
One less voice to hear, one less voice to count When they made you walk the plank. 
If our pity helped in any way, you'd be dancing to the bank. All our beds are made by these erudite brains,
 By suits they douse in liquid insane.
 They spew our tears down executive drains,
 And adorn us with false praise and disdain. We grieve with you, but we're not gonna help you, you're too far gone.
 We bleed with you, but not as much as you do, you're too far wrong. We just don't have the infinite time To wrap you up on this bitter night.
 Some may swim with you in your grime But it's not fair and it's not right.
 
We raise money for a charity that's not even a charity. What is going on in this world today? Less and less can give a shit.
 Yeah fend for yourselves by all means but pull my face from off the grit. All our beds are made by these erudite brains,
 By suits they douse in liquid insane. 
They spew our tears down executive drains 
And adorn us with false praise and disdain.
