Trevor McAleese - Carousel Lyrics

Break the final opportunity in pieces
Try to save one for the last afforded day
Ruminate in revolutions 'round the nulling
Solve a space for what the closing door forswears the breath to say
Has the avenue in front of you begun to open
Wider than the bricks there laid allow
Or the opposite, the freedom's counterfeit
So dress the hollowed hopes in heavy chains and drag them past the shallows
From a glance I caught before I knew the eyes belonged to you
Queued among the masked and many winding through
It dawned, you navigated back from worlds abroad
Finessed the odds and now our silvered selves were fresh debuted
With twice the life lived, a whole one happened out of sight
And consonant's the call for a harmony that might fit a damaged complement
The watercolours start to run in rambling rain
Ache divides to art
It struck with such surprise then split my head in two
Illusions and levities folded at the fore, the autumn queen withdrew
That's fair and paints a quite familiar fool
A fall rehearsed, this echo only built you more guilt
Spin, return attention there before the tear
Where words are baby birds, afraid to fly
Instead of buoyant gestures burned to warm the air
Disrespect, manipulate, and lie
Could then your heart reply
Unthinkable, unthinkable
I could not help but picture how the river'd bend
Towards this trio steaming buns 'round the workaday wend
Not so, no chungus among us, shy vines shun leaves and all
Roots steeped in the shifting sands back to your wherewithal
Reduced from friend
To junk human
Unstirred's the purpose
To be known again
No withered pretend
Unperson, the end
