I The Mighty – Carousel lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think I've had enough of your world for today
My head has opened up and your pictures fall like rain
In front of my face they fall

[Verse 2]
We were corresponding shapes like the rocks in a ledge
Now this puzzle has been rained upon
And the corners lost their edge
Nothing fits as it once did
But at least we had finished at

[Chorus]
All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
And what's wrong with that?
Nothing I guess

[Verse 3]
So I entertain my mind with little ticks and movie flicks
Combinations of quirky comedies
But they've all got romantic twists
And when I can't forget, I write
That's how this whole thing came to be
It helps me when I'm lonely, yeah

[Chorus]
All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
And what's wrong with that?
Nothing I guess

[Bridge]
(Works)
So I guess you're right (This cycle never works)
I did abhor the awkward silence we endured
(This cycle of the poet and his dame)
And spoke a truce to stop the swell
(Who never could explain this tired plot)
And slow this spinning carousel
(Insistent it would stop)
Yet still it spun from time to time
Laced with mistrust that cracked the spine
(Convinced that every problem soon would rest)
This feeble frame just would not hold
(That bad things at their best would fix themselves)
And sparked the drifting of two souls
(But those things you just can't tell)
I am not ready nor deserve a line of love
(And its taunting in this straight jacket of hope)
That can't be blurred into a shallow blotch of lust
(It blinds and it disrupts the ebb and flow)
A dirty thought, a pointless fuck
I never properly explained (Process of letting go)
This bodied beauty you contain
(The pattern on this strange bright lighted stage)
Is too much for a man to take
(The stigma at this age-less feeling age)
At such an age-less feeling age

[Chorus]
All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
What's wrong with that?
Nothing I guess
Oh, nothing I guess
Nothing I guess
