SITTING BY THE CAROUSEL
TRAPPED INSIDE MY TINY HELL
WONDERING IF THESE FOOLS CAN TELL
LA LA LA LA LA
FREEDOM TUCKED UNDER MY SHIRT
IF I AIM JUST RIGHT IT MIGHT NOT HURT
JUST ONE WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE
LA LA LA LA LA
I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE HOLE
WITH RECYCLED AIR AND SILICONE/SILICON
OBLIVION I'M COMING HOME
LA LA LA LA LA

SUGAR SHADY
ONE HIT TO STAY AWAKE
ONE HIT TO STRANGLE THE REGRETS
WATCH THE SKY FADE
FROM PEACH TO LEMONADE
SMOKING MAGIC CIGARETTES
A NOBLE ENTERPRISE
SHE'S FEEDING LONELY MINDS
STEALING WI-FI
SHE LOST HER SPIRIT GUIDE
IN 1999
AND HE'S NEVER COMING BACK
SUGAR SHADY
A CHILD OF MIMICRY
SHE'S SELLING FRIENDSHIP BY THE SLICE
WE ALL PAY
FOR SOMEONE'S FANTASIES
BUT KING PRETENDER PAYS HER TWICE
SHE'S BUILDING A TOWER
WITH CARAMEL LOCKS
AND IMPOSSIBLE PASSWORDS
IT'S ALL FOR SHOW
IF SHE RUNS OUT OF SUGAR
IF THE CURTAINS EVER CLOSE
YOU'LL KNOW
SHE'S UP THERE ALL ALONE

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND PULL THE PLUG
YOU WOULD BUT YOU CAN’T
NO ONE REALLY GETS A SECOND CHANCE
LIVING A LIE
WAIT AND BEHAVE
IT TAKES YEARS TO RENOVATE THE SKULL YOU SEE
EVERYTHING TO MODERN TASTE
NEW DOORS FRESH PAINT
TELL US DO YOU MIND THE SCENT OF SHAME?
LIVING A LIE

I'M JUST A CRIMINAL
I MADE SOMETHING WICKED I CAN'T UNDO
MAYBE I WAS CURIOUS
BEHIND ALL THE SCREENS I'M A LOT LIKE YOU
I'M MISS AMERICA
WASTED ALL MY TOKENS ON VANITY
MOTHER SAYS I'M GULLIBLE
BUT BEFORE I WAS BORN SHE LOOKED JUST LIKE ME
I AM JUST A CRIMINAL

You Don't Belong Here

JUST FOR TODAY YOU KNOW THAT I EXIST
I DON'T STARE AT YOU THROUGH THE PLEXIGLASS
WE ARE NOT STRANGERS
WE ARE VISITING
I AM ALLOWED IN
JUST FOR TODAY WE SHARE A CONVERSATION
I'M NOT CHOKING WITH ANXIETY
WE ARE THANKFUL FOR SEPARATION
OR WE MIGHT FEEL SOMETHING
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND NEITHER DO I
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND NEITHER DO I
I'M CALLING UP THE SHIP TO TAKE US HOME
JUST FOR TODAY THERE IS NO SCREEN BETWEEN US
NO DISTANCE
THERE ARE NO DISEASES
WE ARE COMPLEX
WE ARE THRILLING
THE CLOUDS ARE NOT A CEILING
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND NEITHER DO I
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND NEITHER DO I
I'M CALLING UP THE SHIP TO TAKE US HOME
