The Carousel - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Lord forgive me

I left that bottle empty

It fits right in beside the other ones

It's the last one, I can promise that

I swear I'll find a game that's just as fun

Lord forgive me

If heaven only sent me

A stronger mind, I'd make it out alive

I'm a master of the carousel

But every couple rounds I'm left behind

And I don't know if I can go back

To the hidden smile in that photograph

That my mother took I swear she turned to me and said

"I just pray you stay"

"I just pray you stay just like this"

Lord forgive mе

For making her a memory

But asking her to dancе inside my dreams

She's the last one, I can promise that

I swear I'll let her go like we agreed

Lord forgive me

I never saw you in me

And even now, my voice dies in the walls

Well it's hard to keep a vow

When I'm aware that you're not listening at all

And I don't know if I can go back

To the pretty girl in that photograph

That I took myself when she turned to me and said

"I just pray you stay"

"I just pray you stay just like this"
