Come see fun for all ages, the freaks in their cages. Had you worse luck, you might stand in their place. See the lights glowing, the thrilling knife throwing. Smile, point and laugh at the tigers restrained. Just for one night it's a cheerful retreat. We'll understand if you don't want to leave. 'Til you see the world turning without you. The merry-go-round has left you behind. You stand hollow and soaked through under the clouds and shattered street lights. You stay unmoving as you wait for your turn. If one thing is proven, it's that you never learned how to tell when it's over. Your carnival's gone forever. Forget about your pain. We live to entertain! Dear customer, we only want you to smile. Everything's fine, dear. You know we're all friends here. Stay all you like, we'll be here for a while. Lose track of time, ain't that always the plan? Lose track of the outside, yes, we understand! We can watch the world turning without you. The merry-go-round has left you behind. You stand hollow and soaked through under the clouds and shattered street lights. You stay unmoving as you wait for your turn. If one thing is proven, it's that you never learned how to tell when it's over. Your carnival's gone forever. Don't leave us behind. Never leave, we won't mind. We have all you could want, though we don't mean to gloat. What were you thinking when you were there sinking under the current, not trying to float? Flee from your fears far away from the light to the cracks in the window and maybe you might see the world turning without you. The merry-go-round has left you behind. You stand hollow and soaked through under the clouds and shattered street lights. You stay unmoving as you wait for your turn. If one thing is proven, it's that you never learned how to tell when it's over. Your carnival's gone forever.

Toe the line. Find something new. If you never seek, you'll never find now tell me, where does that leave you? There's a silver lining somewhere in the sky. If you stare at the clouds it surrounds it'll pass you by. Are you willing to change yourself for everything you want? Are you gonna erase yourself to be something you're not? When your own imperfections cloud your mind, it stings, but if you don't try for yourself you're not gonna change a thing. There's a silver lining somewhere in the sky. If you stare at the clouds it surrounds it'll pass you by. Nothing's out of reach if you would only try. Does that scare you? Are you willing to change yourself for everything you want? Are you gonna erase yourself to be something you're not?

The way I see it, there's nothing I can say to make this easier on you. You wanted answers, but now you've got your way you prefer miracles to truth. You're so very clever. Ain't that the gospel truth? And all the world's locked gates and doors swing open just for you. Just wait until you're eighteen and you're let loose on society. You'll show the world, you'll show them all the overnight success you're gonna be. You wannabe, you wanna be without the mess of trying to be. Did you really wanna hear "there is nothing you can't do," now you're responsible, what the hell is your excuse? Your old possibilities, you have thrown them all away. You can't believe your eyes, sore from crying over wasted years and years and years go by and you'll do anything but try to salvage something from the wreck and make somebody of yourself. The time's not right, and neither is the weather so you've got no choice but to pause all your endeavours. What's the use in trying if perfection isn't there? If it's not all the way, why bother going anywhere? I am sick of your excuses. Is that all you've got? Did you really wanna hear "there is nothing you can't do," now you're responsible, what the hell is your excuse? Your old possibilities, you have thrown them all away. You can't believe your eyes, sore from crying over wasted years and years and years go by and you'll do anything but try to salvage something from the wreck and make somebody of yourself. Waiting on that nonexistant perfect time to go has always been the perfect way never to try, the perfect way never to know. Did you really wanna hear "there is nothing you can't do," now you're responsible, what the hell is your excuse? Your old possibilities, you have thrown them all away. You can't believe your eyes, sore from crying over wasted years and years and years go by and you'll do anything but try to salvage something from the wreck and make somebody of yourself.

I tried to save you, but I guess we know how well that went. I tried to save you. Think of all the time I spent. I never wanted it to go so wrong. Everybody wants to win. I never wanted it to go so bad, but I couldn't fix a thing. I've shattered all that I've ever managed. I watched you fall, now you're collateral damage. I forgot what brought us here. You'll never know how much that took. I forgot what brought us here because I cannot bear to look. I shattered all that I ever managed. I watched you fall, now you're collateral damage in a rescue mission meant for you. I tried to help. That's all I wanted to do. You're better off without me. Look what I've done. I shattered all that I ever managed. I watched you fall, now you're collateral damage. And in the end, that's all that's left.

You can look but you won’t find me. I am a face in the crowd. Go on send out your search party. You won’t see me standing there. Is it so surprising that you’re alone in this room? You’re the only face that you know. Everybody’s gone and that leaves nobody but you. You’re the only face you recognise. You might have known they’re waiting for you if you’d only opened your eyes. You can look but you won’t find me. I am a face in the crowd. Go on send out your search party. You won’t see me standing there. Masks on statue figures make it hard to tell what’s real, blank and white like empty pages. This forest of stone and clay hides everything that feels. You’re the only face you recognise. You can look but you won’t find me. I am a face in the crowd. Go on send out your search party. You won’t see me standing there.

I've been waiting here for a while now. What I'm waiting for, I don't know. They tell me to make myself comfortable. Whatever they say, this isn't home. Where the eagles soar, I can see it all, I can see it all. High in the Belltower that the snow surrounds. Someone mutters the warning, "Careful not to fall, careful not to fall". When your fingers graze the sky it's a long way down. Do these walls protect me or do these walls seal me in? No one tells me either way. No one tells me a thing. Here, where I'm locked away, I can see it all, I can see it all. High in the Belltower, vultures gather 'round. Walls echo the warning, "Careful not to fall, careful not to fall". When the birds watch as you fly it's a long way down. Watching the world from here I see everything. Nothing short of everything. High in the Belltower far above the ground. Someone's calling for freedom. I can hear them sing, I can hear them sing. Watch your steps around me. It's a long way down.

I used to understand you. No, that's misleading, I still do. You've always been so proud of this hurricane that follows you. You're demanding, outstanding, you're high above the rest and you love to let everybody know. And you're the Queen Bee and we'll see you're nothing but the best and you never let it go. It's never been in question whether you have got direction, but you need to stay grounded. It's for everyone's protection. You're laughing at this dance, but you don't understand the circumstance. I'm running out of reasons to give you another chance so light up. It's all about the pretense. It's all about the imaginary. It's all about the showmanship, so when you lose out you walk free. You're drowning in the ocean! You won't let anybody hear you shout. You know that if they heard you, they might just try to help you out. And you're outstanding, demanding that everybody sees you're the greatest liar still at large. And you're destructive, conductive to electricity and you CHARGE. It's never been in question whether you have got direction, but you need to stay grounded. It's for everyone's protection. You're laughing at this dance, but you don't understand the circumstance. I'm running out of reasons to give you another chance so Light up your darkened thoughts now. Look back upon all you've wrought now. Light up your darkened dreaming. Ignore the ghosts. Ignore their screaming. Light up your poisonous plans. Your fate is out of your hands. Yesterday won't come back to you so try to think things through. It's never been in question whether you have got direction, but you need to stay grounded. It's for everyone's protection. You're laughing at this dance, but you don't understand the circumstance.

Hey Alice, where's your wonderland now that you're back on Earth? How does it look, now you've left it behind and crossed the stepping stones? Hey Alice, is it greener here or does it seem like dirt? Does it feel the same, can you say that you are happy to be home? The rabbit seems to call your name. You're late, so it's time to move. Oh Alice, you know it's your fate. Tick, tock. No time to lose. Did the mushrooms make you grow? Did the flowers say hello? Would Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee care to sing a song for me? Did you like your Unbirthday? Did the Cheshire Cat smile your way? Can you tell a raven from a writing desk? Was the Hatter's tea the best? Did you do as the Queen asked? Did you see through the looking glass? Hey Alice, do you want to play? The Queen's great (or so it's been said)! Hey Alice, can you play croquet? If you're good, you can keep your head. Did the mushrooms make you grow? Did the flowers say hello? Would Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee care to sing a song for me? Did you like your Unbirthday? Did the Cheshire Cat smile your way? Can you tell a raven from a writing desk? Was the Hatter's tea the best? Did you do as the Queen asked? Did you see through the looking glass? Hey Alice, are you here or there or somewhere in between? Hey Alice, would you ever dare to go back through where you've been? Hey Alice, time is running short. This can't take too long. Make a choice now. On which side of the door do you feel you belong? The rabbit seems to call your name. You're late, so it's time to move. Oh Alice, you know it's your fate. Tick, tock. No time to lose. Did the mushrooms make you grow? Did the flowers say hello?
