Carnival

Looking in the hall of broken mirrors

She steals a kiss in the funhouse

A carnival of music.

Memories and unicorns

She’s gone

But she was never really there



Spinning cotton candy spiderwebs

She is the carnival

Her music

The voices

The tiny footsteps.

She steals kisses in the funhouse



Her heart a carousel

People leave it

Broken and faded

She is the carnival

Sometimes the music still plays.

And the faded photographs

Of a girl

Stealing kisses in the funhouse



The dizzy noise

Mirrors never lie

Could you see her?

Standing in her vintage lace

Handing you everything she had.

She was the carnival



Sweet poison

Little lies and whispers

A Ferris Wheel and the games you play

Leaving her

Stealing kisses in the funhouse

She is the carnival

Faded and broken



The lights still try to shine

Hold on to it

Never let memories go

Dancing in the midway

Steal a kiss in the funhouse

She is the carnival
