Carnival Mirror Lyrics by Tré Burt

You, Yeah, You

2021

[Verse 1]
Well, you know I'd rather live off the goodwill of strangers
And let my hair grow wild and wide
Than have the shadow of money crossin' over me
Wherever I go, feel it under my eye
Well, ain't sayin' that I ain't used to it somehow
I spent my time with the wise man too
But if it's one thing I woulda done differently
I'd kill 'em fast before he understood
[Chorus]
For cryin' out loud, I just want out
No, I can't take it anymore
This carnival mirror's got everybody feelin' sick
There's no winner, there's no loser
Just life and its abuser
Leave no trace and give no reason why
Cruel by design
[Verse 2]
From what I gather, there's nothin' to worry about
Inside these walls taller than Heaven
With all this talk about building them higher now
You gotta wonder, what's behind the levee?
With your eyes like fire and your heart like stone
And your voice like oblivion moanin'
Yeah, you are quick to abide by your bottomless pride
But you hide when it's overflowin'
[Chorus]
For cryin' out loud, just want out
No, I can't take it anymore
This carnival mirror's got everybody feelin' sick
There's no winner, there's no loser
Just life and its abuser
Leave no trace and give no reason why
Cruel by design
Cruel by design
