1) Carousel
Carousel
Be the envy of my peers
From this spot
You can take me anywhere
Every nook and crannie
Of this flat planet
If isn't flat
There wouldn't be understanding
Carousel
You make me feel young again
Instead of pretending to be
Older than I am
As a young man
I'm filled with so much space
I've outgrown my inner child
And now my name
Makes me feel like
I have a number in hand
Carousel
Spin faster so I'll wonder again
As your lights flash
I feel so secure
Wondering why my friends
Don't ride you anymore
When I turn on this spot
I feel innocent
Awashed in your colors
My face lights up again
Somewhere a Parkinson's painter
Is having a field day
I'd take chaos over false peace anyday
Carousel
Be the envy of my peers
The happiest place on earth
Is right here
I'd rather feel like I'm five
Than I do now
If I was someone else
I wouldn't want me around
…
…
Snap back to reality
Back to the pyramid
As the ride slows down
The dizziness settles in
2) Concrete Feet
Focused realities have started to burn
Dulled by the cities, let my eyes adjust
A tree that sways in a violent gust
That's rooted in hardening earth
And there will be no backtracks
My feet aren't fitting my footsteps
For better or for worse
I'm trapped in limbo
This barcode tattoo is none of your concern
With a darker pigement and all filled up
Please, remove these black and white cuffs
The mood around here is about to upturn
3) No Sunrise Tomorrow
Karmic imbalance
Bad things happening to
Good people
To bed late, early to rise
When the insect noises are still densely layered
There's no sunrise today
There'll be no sunrise tomorrow
Getting tanned off of pale stars
The world's in fallout
But you don't don't fall out
No, you don't fall out
A positive outlook
The perfect example of
A role model
But they'd rather look up to stars
Than on level with something more down to earth
4) Fahreinheit/Depth (Pale and Cold)
Started feeling nothing
And it's worrying me
Poke me all that you want
It won't break this feeling
I'm getting pale and cold
Does this mean anything?
A season changed within
Built internal armor
You can't thaw out from the inside
You're getting pale and cold
Never thought it would hit you?
I'm in over my head here
Everything you just said
Went right over my head
This is what life does to us
What it does to us all, to us all
5) Full Split
A full split
Where the post's light starts to dim
Uncharted and I was thrown in
With no tricks up the sleeve
No rabbit in the hat
Shock and awe
Shock and awe
The main attraction
The moment when it counts
When everything really counts
I didn't pay any attention
Doubt and fear
Doubt and fear
With no tricks up the sleeve
No rabbit in the hat
And I was just thrown in
I was just thrown in
6) Fidget
As I grew taller
As I grew smarter
The doors seemed shorter
The rooms felt smaller
I grew restless
I started to fidget
Cupped my hands over my eyes
Saw the world through my tunnel vision
As my hands grew larger
The tunnel appeared longer
The exit seemed further
The more I was bothered
A rabbit's dream of leaving the hole
I couldn't care less where I'd go
A warm knife through soft butter
I couldn't wait to cut away from others
As I grew taller
As I grew smarter
The doors seemed shorter
The rooms felt smaller
I grew restless
I started to fidget
Cupped my hands over my eyes
Saw the world through my tunnel vision
Layed down the foundations
Layed down a sheet of paper
Began to trace a pattern
It couldn't be simpler
That very first breath of fresh air
Had me foaming at the mouth
If I knew then what I know now
I would have spit it out
If I knew then what I know now
There would have been less of "when"
And instead more of "how"
7) Alackaday
Your rejected flavors
Match those of my own
Attracted to you though
Harmonic pheromones
Then the news came and the
Shutters closed over my eyes
You don't deserve a future so bright
The critic in me critcized
Formulas shouldn't be rewritten
Formulas shouldn't be rewritten
It'll never
Ever
Need revision
Your new smile scares
It makes you look so ugly
It's unknown, overblown
And to be frank, quite sloppy
A folded invitation
In such pretty print
Indoctrinated and laminate
One to stick on the fridge

Dammit, I can't think of a snappy comeback…
