lyrics

Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go 'til we're sick

I'm feeling dizzy and I don't know why
I've been cycling the same sunrise
Day after day I'm building up my fight
To shatter this machine to get me off this ride

They're broadcasting shadows blocking out the light
I've got the feeling this is by design
I'm in the field of taking bad advice
Business is booming and it's paying out in spite.

You wouldn't read about it
You wouldn't read about it
You wouldn't read about the brighter side of life
Cause who would want to hear about that?

The lights lead on
The lights lead on
Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go
The lights lead on
The lights lead on
Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go 'til we're sick

Forsake the future and forget the past
There's everything but locusts in tonight's forecast
I'm so sick I hope the end comes fast
Cause life on a carousel wasn't built to last

They're broadcasting shadows blocking out the light
I've got the feeling this is by design
I'm fighting gravity to break this cycle of repetition condition before I lose my mind

You wouldn't read about it
You wouldn't read about it
You wouldn't read about the brighter side of life
Cause who would want to hear about that?

The lights lead on
The lights lead on
Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go
The lights lead on
The lights lead on
Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go 'til we're sick

It's a media shower that falls for hours and hours and so it's round and round we go
If you follow the light
Put your fight over flight
That's your moment to let go

The lights lead on
The lights lead on
Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go The lights lead on
The lights lead on
Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go
The lights lead on
The lights lead on
Round and round the merry go
Round and round the merry go 'til we're sick
