When your hope runs
On battery save
And every moment seems
Like an eternity
Flirting with you
Showing off its
Sunday best

What do you then
When the world is
A carousel that
Never stops

The clown grins
At the rabbit
And the horses just
Keep on galloping
Around and
Around
With no sign of stopping
Anytime soon

Lights flash to the tune of calliope
Its rhythm hits you in the chest
And the carousel keeps going
With painted zebras smiling
Glittering fairies flying

When will it stop
So you can
Sigh, breathe
And exist
Like you were
Supposed to
