And all of my time was wasted
In filling a void between now and then
I felt fatigue and complacent
Tell me something sweet
Lull me back to sleep
Cause the place I thought I was
No longer is
Please just slow down
(slow down)
Let me catch my breath
(slow down)
I swear I never meant to move this way
I'm turning around
And around and around to fall
Never meant to fall behind
All these woeful wanderings
Just take it from the screen
Tethered to my father bleeding
The skin that's under foot
That's under my steps
All this nervous music
Is moving me along
Keep me chasing my tail
Around and around
This Merry-Go-Round
????
????
????
The blankets of this world
Can't keep me warm
Please just slow down
Let me catch my breath
I swear I never meant to move this way
I'm turning around
And around I never meant to fall
Never meant to fall behind
Sing me something sweet
Lull me back to sleep
In my mother's eyes
Sing me something sweet
Lull me back to sleep
I can't slow down
We spin around in circles
Say something soft
Say something sweet
My world falls apart around me
Lull me back to sleep
Please just slow down
Let me catch my breath
I swear I never meant to move this way
I'm turning around
And around I never meant to fall
Never meant to fall behind
