Get Me Off This Carousel

get me off this carousel
this roundabout and ferris wheel
always on the same old strand
leading back to no mans land
waiting in vain fantasies
plagued by all uncertainties

and you
this mirage before my eyes
who cruelly left me without goodbyes
who stole my heart and crushed my soul
who brings me life and makes me whole

break me out of this cage of lies
where silence is full of heart mournful cries
where promises are covered by dust and grime
and loving you is my life's crime

take me away from this loving space
where every look i glimpse your face
and joy has sounded her retreat
your love lost is my defeat

my love sprung up like summer weeds
choked all thought and sense and needs
and left me here broken and bound
but you don't care, you're not around

hate took love by the hand and cut its throat
a sea of sorrow yet hope keeps afloat
hate brandishes a scar upon my back
holds high a mirror to all i lack

i lack you

get me off this carousel
this roller coaster
this one way hell
lead me far from all I think and feel
for you love me not, you are not real
