Inspired by Psychedelic era Beatles, Think I Am The Walrus played by Smashing Pumpkins or MUSE. A song about thinking you're the life of the party, and wondering why no one else is on your level. Later realizing everyone has been standing by watching you crash and burn spectacularly.
Carnival

One last time 
on the Merry Go Round 
It’s a shame
Am I the only here who can fly?

Don’t know why
Once I get to the top of the ride
I always end up at the bottom again

Living life like a cannon ball
Living life in a carnival
Carnival

Spin me round
So dizzy I can’t walk for days
Guess I’m the only one who puts on a show
On a trapeze
Flying high the through the air like pilot
Am the only one not scared of heights?


Living life like a cannon ball
Living life in a carnival
Carnival

I just wanna see you lift up your hands
I just wanna see you scream from the stands
You know I’m doing it all for the fans
See me coming down out of the sky
Don’t you wanna come give it a try?
at a Carnival

Coming down
I never thought I would fall off the tightrope
Am I the only one to hit the ground?
Safe and sound
I’m a prisoner caged like a tiger
Why am I the only still hanging around?

Carnival

"This is a song I wrote and recorded just days after the 2016 election of Donald Trump. The lyric is based around my guilt of not voting, and being a part of the problem that allowed a two bit con man into the presidency.

I’m the reason everything’s gone wrong
I stood for nothing for far too long
but now there’s something that it’s time 
for the world to hear

Been on the sidelines doing my own thing
till all the headlines began to swing
and now we’re all knocked out 
with just ourselves to blame

It’s a disaster
my heart is racing faster
It’s a disaster
so bow down to the master
and sing the siren song

A fascist state is not a state of mind
we’re moving targets and the shooter’s blind
if we don’t listen to the past
the future’s bound to follow

We demand to have another choice
We’ve got to stand up and make some noise
or face the fact that we live in a place
that will never win this human race

We pulled the trigger on this smoking gun 
a vicious circle that can’t be won
everybody’s choosing sides
to play the same damn game
