Tiring, mundane carnival
Take me for a ride
However, please don't show the animals
Or push me down a slide.
These days this show is boring me
Yet still I have to try
It might yet have in store for me
A new surprise or "bye".
Too many times you crossed the line
And said one 'mark too far
It's all right, I've forgiven you!
Please say the same to me!
But those words never came to me
And all I heard instead
Was rotting, morbid silence
As if you had been dead.
