Lyrics

Carousel

[Refrain]

Stay quiet, you always ruin the plot

With that silver, ageless tongue of yours

Like leaves on an autumn floor in discord

I've never been so lost in this world

[Verse 1]

I see your silhouette through the blurry lights

Now I've seen enough, and I missed my meds

[Refrain]

Stay quiet, you always ruin the plot

With that silver, ageless tongue of yours

Like leaves on an autumn floor in discord

[Bridge]

We saw it coming, we did nothing

For all intents and purposes, we're comfortable

Being culpable

[Chorus]

You were climbing down, I was jumping out the water

Couldn't see wherе our breath would align

On a carousel coming back around to warn us

Still, we movе through the gears every time

[Chorus]

You were climbing down, I was jumping out the water

Couldn't see where our breath would align

On a carousel coming back around to warn us

Still, we move through the gears every time

[Outro]

We saw it coming, we did nothing

For all intents and purposes, we're comfortable

Being culpable

    Lakes: "This time, it was like, there are no rules"

    "Not how we planned it?" consider Lakes on 'No Excuses', the second track on second album 'Start Again'. Taken out of context, it's an inspired insight...
