Carnival

everybody's had a ride

and everybody got off

but then it all was over

everybody went home

 

to live the end of the story

so we've got this place 

all to our selves

to explore what ever we will

 

welcome to the carnival

 

someone taught me when I was young

the world might end tonight

we hold on to apocalypses

and stories with happy endings

 

in the end we're stuck in the middle

perhaps, all due to our death grip

never realizing there was no difference

well, hold on, hold on,

hold on

 

my friend, hold on 

hold on for the ride of your life

 

one thats never over

cause we've got this place 

all to our selves

to find what ever we will

 

welcome to the carnival

 

what would you love to do

find what ever you will

take your time and laugh with me please

welcome to reality

 

everybodies sleeping now

and the sun is at our feet

the lights are swirling around us

a carousel around polaris

 

on a ride on end

we've got this place 

inside our selves

to find what ever we will

 

welcome to the carnival

 

sing it with me, friend

we've got this place 

inside ourselves

to find what ever we will

 

welcome to the carnival

welcome to our carnival

 

say it to me again

welcome to the carnival

 

we see two people giving out pamphlets

both holding signs: repent now

we read the flaps, both say it's getting hotter

while one blames man, one blames the devil

 

welcome to the carnival

 

say it to me again

we've got this place 

inside our selves

to find what ever we will

 

welcome to the carnival

 

say it to me again

we can't control if the rest of man's

(say it to me again)

devolving around the sun

say it to me again

we've got this place

inside ourselves

welcome...

I was studying some of your posts

Your naming of folders is somewhat different from others & so are your themes. Your posts can't be digested quickly but have to be read 3-4 times to get a glimpse of your thoughts. As for me I'm a casual scribbler. Best wishes from Kolkata, India

I don't mean to create so

I don't mean to create so much work : ) Thank you for reading, anyway, I appreciate it. Best wishes to you, too.
