Carnival Lyrics by Thank You Scientist

Maps of Non-Existent Places

2012

[Verse 1]
The view from your porch, in this beautiful place
To keep your front door open
To see things so clearly, to learn from mistakes
To show them all you’re fearless
Can’t fade into the background, far too strong to keep down
I wish you would try
[Chorus]
Won’t you get it through your head?
The carnival is ending, and everyone is gone
So now you know - so tired of pretending
Said "this is not what it means to be unknown"
So smoke another one
Debating on the bait, to cast it all away
To loosen up the chains, so we can breathe a bit
So tired of...
[Verse 2]
The view from your porch, in this beautiful place
To see things so clearly
Silent for too long, my biggest mistake
You can be sure it’s over
Can’t take all of the back roads, wherever I go
I won’t be alone
[Chorus]
Won’t you get it through your head?
The carnival is ending, and everyone is gone
So now you know - so tired of pretending
Said "this is not what it means to be unknown," unknown
So smoke another one
Debating on the bait, to cast it all away
To loosen up the chains, so we can breathe a bit
So tired of...
[Bridge]
One more time, you know this is where
Where you could be if you wanted
Come to find, you know this is where
Where you could be if you wanted
You know!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Know the one, know the one to blame
No one, no one's to blame
[Chorus]
Won’t you get it through your head?
The carnival is ending, and everyone is gone
So now you know - so tired of pretending
Said "This is not what it means to be unknown," unknown
So smoke another one
Debating on the bait, to cast it all away
To loosen up the chains, so we can breathe a bit
So tired of the unattainable
The unattainable
