Carousel

Already seen this view,
everlasting deja vu.
Still hope that it'll change,
call me naive or deranged.

I bought the ticket, took the ride,
it seemed a decent place to hide.
Enticing with the gold and lights
but now I'm really not so sure.

I see something round the bend
perhaps a way that'll bring an end?
I'd love to stay but I am spent,
I beg you to let me down.

Always up and down, 
never side to side.
Going round and round, 
I wish we'd collide.
Dream of a world that's parallel
on this infernal carousel.
