Cartoon

Now everybodys looking after me,
If Im dragging by some coat tail,
I cant see its too dark,
But Ive got to know whats got the best of me.
When the circus that you left goes on parade,
And those things you see seem so far in your charade,
Too far,
But Im feeling like I dont dare look away,
Dont look away.
Did it almost make you feel,
That somethings got to happen soon,
When you wake up feeling lost in your own room.
If youre crying and you fear youre gonna drown,
If you think well rise above,
Youd better look around,
Youll see.
Its a mountain made of sand crumbling under me.
Maybe Im chasing shadows on your wall,
They loom so large,
But make me feel so small so hard,
When youre chasing your own tail in your own room.
And a time to leave,
And a time to stay,
I guess the things I look away.
Did it almost make you feel that somethings gotta happen soon.
Youre in the movies now and Im in your cartoon.
Theres a ringing in my ears thats heaven sent.
Theres a beast out on the ruins,
Some broken down lovers lament.
It goes on and on but it wont go away.
