Carnival

from The Beautiful Dead by Alien Skin

lyrics

this is a carnival but i'm not laughing
the crowds look ugly and they're thick
the atmosphere of human candy
makes my senses sugar sick
and i can no longer look at the world and care
the way i once used to do
and i can no longer look at the world and care
like the way i was when i was with you
this war is going on forever
why not just kill ourselves & be done
it cannot happen here but it's here
as my atoms float around the sun
and i can no longer look at the world and care
the way i once used to do
and i can no longer look at the world and care
like the way i was when i was with you
and i can no longer look at the world and care
the way i once used to do
and i can no longer look at the world and care
i've checked out of my motel room
