What has become of us so numb so numb
The Ringmaster says its time to tear the tents down again
Will it sever your ways
Could it come to life once in awhile
May your wishes be untrue
All the madness has now seeped out from you into my mind
May you be flowers and ashes again
In my dreams your sons and daughters were slain
But I wish you worse
There’s a pain in my side
And it fades away when the lights go down
Will you paint colors as dark as your heart
Just for me
Every hour I gave unto you
The witches have caught me and shamed me again
All this time I was stripped from the sense of Euphoria
Pray you step lightly let it stain you for sometime
You’ll be sorry that you’re never sorry for what you’ve done
Every once in a while we go down
I believe if its shit coming in, then its shit coming out…just try again
Don’t leave your soul behind you
And the light paper lips that define you
Shall you slip away into the night
May you speak not of what you have done
Falling asleep as I’m driving away from your words
Every hour I gave unto you
The witches have caught me and shamed me again
All this time I was stripped from the sense of Euphoria
May you be flowers and ashes again
Make a wish , you’ll be sorry

is there anyone here who doesn't need a little fixing
is there anyone here who doesn't need to be saved
cause we just might have a sweet elixir
we just might have the very thing
to fend off the grave
and in this corner, we present
for enlightenment of youth
a moral tale of grace and greed
of turpitude and truth
Old Widow Koehn had riches boxed
beneath her bed forsooth
she locked it down, boys, she locked it down
she scrimped and saved her whole life through
for the leisured days to come
she'd expedite for island shores
and sip Jamaican rum
when the dread tornado came to call
with the force of an atom bomb
the only thing left standing was that box
oh, you're gonna die
and you're gonna hurt
and you're gonna scream your empty prayers
to the sky
so raise your glass into the air
and let's pretend we're millionaires
and we'll kiss all our cares goodbye
sweet Sally Childs was well and good
she didn't see it come
a runny nose, a paper cut
a blister on her thumb
at breakfast she was dancing
and by dinner, deaf and dumb
oh, they'll get you boys, oh, they'll get you good
and little William Duff was a little mean and rough
we can't say that he deserved a leisured life
but that beggar's pot he skimmed
so they tore him limb from limb
they'll get you boys, oh, they'll get you good
oh, you're gonna die
and you're gonna hurt
and you're gonna scream your empty prayers
to the sky
so raise your glass into the air
and let's pretend we're millionaires
and we'll kiss all our cares goodbye
is there anyone here who doesn't need a little fixing
is there anyone here who doesn't need to be saved
cause we just might have a sweet elixir
we just might have the very thing
to fend off the grave
oh, you're gonna die
and you're gonna hurt
and you're gonna scream your empty prayers
to the sky
so raise your glass into the air
and let's pretend we're millionaires
and we'll kiss our sorry asses goodbye
and we'll kiss our sorry asses goodbye

We headed north to the land of lovers & guns
With a head of big plans of what we'd become
You drove your van across town to pay some more dues
You drove straight for the sound of the cash & the booze
Did any of us sing a word we cared about?
Did any of us tell the truth?
Did any of us take the time to let it out?
Did I stop to think about you?
You parked it right on the couch with your wife & your girls
You walked right out to that spot // You could look down on the world
Did any of us sing a word we cared about?
Did any of us tell the truth?
Did any of us take the time to let it out?
Did I stop to think about you?
Did I stop to think about you?
What makes a man give more than he can?
What does it take to live?
More than we understand
We had the best of intent & a heart of good cheer
We wonder where it all went as we cross off one more year
Did any of us sing a word we cared about?
Did any of us tell the truth?
Did any of us take the time to let it out?
Did I stop to think about you?
Did any of us sing a word we cared about?
Did any of us tell the truth?
I didn't take the time to let it out 'til I stopped to think about you

Oblivious
Words/music: carroll, 2013
Welcome to the church of the unholy ghosts
The failures, the freaks the gypsy souls
City to city our whole life long
this sideshow of madness must go on
please, tell us what you believe, tell us what you think about us
you teacher, you preacher, you scholar on all things deep
please, tell us where we can go, tell us what you’ve heard about us
‘cause we didn’t know… we didn’t know, oh we’re oblivious
Welcome to the city of the formerly known
The land of unicorns and led zeppelin… (hahahahhahaha)
Your words are welcome so come as you are
Misspellings, ripped pages, ink stained arms
please, tell us what you believe, tell us what you think about us
you teacher, you preacher, you scholar on all things deep
please, tell us where we can go, tell us what you’ve heard about us
‘cause we didn’t know… we didn’t know, oh we’re oblivious
(spoken) Come on in here young man, we’ve been waiting for you
We’ve got coffee, cookies, bourbon, scotch and beeeeer.
Leave your requests at the door and your money in the jar
As we sing all the songs you are yelling to us from across the room
See that slightly dressed girl in the corner? You know she wants you… so go on over, buy her a drink and let us know what all she has to talk about! I can see it now! Your wedding day! As she tells you all the things that you think you want to hear… So sit down man! Speak below the music and pay respect where it’s due… after all this entire show is about you…right?

Welcome, welcome come right in
The show's about to begin
Sit right down and have yourself a ball
Freaks and geeks and bearded ladies
Somersaults and some are crazies
Check out the posters on the wall
If you wanna take a pony ride
Come inside
When the circus all shuts down
Go put yourself to bed
Don't look down, and don't feel hurt
It's still the greatest show on earth
Funny mirrors on the walls
Elephants and popcorn balls
Lose yourself if only for a night
Soak in all the smell and sound
Feet that never touch the ground
Enjoying the spotlight
If you want to swing on the trapeze
This way please
If every day was like this
It probably wouldn't be much fun
Go ask the lion tamer
He's not the only one

If you can see what I can see then you’ll see there’s a problem
When I look around the room there’s nothing left but sorrow
Baby, Baby, baby can't you see it, baby, baby, baby
Memories and broken dreams of how it used to be
Chill the air and take my breath and fog my memory
Baby, Baby, Baby can't you see it baby, baby, baby
So open up the door and walk into a brand new day
Nothing from the past will be there standing in your way
Memories fill this lonely room like dust upon the floor
Waiting for the broken broom to sweep them out the door now
Baby, Baby, Baby can't you see it baby, baby, baby
Only you can take the step that leads you out the door
Out into a world where dreams await at every corner
Baby, Baby, Baby can't you see it baby, baby, baby
So open up the door and walk into a brand new day
Nothing from the past will be there standing in your way
Baby, Baby, Baby, can’t you see it baby, baby
So open up the door and walk into a brand new day
Nothing from the past will be there standing in your way
You and me weren’t meant to be and no one knows the reason
Only we can know for sure there’s nothing here worth saving so
Maybe, Maybe, Maybe, now you’ll see it, Baby, Baby, Baby.
Now you’ll see it baby, baby, baby
Now you’ll see it baby, baby, baby
