[Verse 1] Crystal city under glass Silver children drifting past Every garden knows your name Every pleasure feels the same There’s a jewel inside my hand Counting years like grains of sand Green to red, then black as night Thirty candles, kill the light [Pre-Chorus] They tell me there is nothing outside They tell me there is nowhere to hide But somewhere beyond the mirrored wall I heard an old man call [Chorus] Run, Logan, run Before the flowers close Run from the Carousel Where everybody goes Run, Logan, run The crystal’s burning red They promise you renewal But the living join the dead [Verse 2] Come to Carousel tonight White robes turning in the light Hands are reaching toward the sun One by one by one by one Higher, higher, bodies rise Incense curling through the lies Everybody cheers below Nobody returns to know [Bridge] Sanctuary… Is it a place? Is it a word they buried Where nobody could trace? There are wrinkles on a stranger There is winter in his hair There are years beyond the number They told us wasn’t there [Verse 3] Jessica, the doors are wide Hear the city scream behind Metal hounds and silver eyes Hunting children through paradise Past the domes, beneath the moon Past the ruins, past the tombs For the first time breathe the rain For the first time feel the pain [Chorus] Run, Logan, run The crystal’s burning red Run from the Carousel And everything they said Run, Logan, run Let thirty come and pass There’s an old world growing wild Beyond the broken glass [Outro] No renewal No return Only circles Only burn Carousel is turning Carousel is turning Carousel is turning But I won’t turn with you The red light in my palm goes dark And morning comes.
