[Verse 1]
Copper moons are drifting in my tea
Patchwork windows blur the scenery
Mother hums a tune I can't recall
Patterns spiral, handprints on the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
We laughed at riddles, watched them rearrange
Twirling figures trading all their names

[Chorus]
All the clock hands turn and fade away
Children laugh on the carousel parade
Under painted sky, masks on every face
Are we strangers, or just circling the same?

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm la la la, mmm la la la

[Verse 2]
Candles flicker in the parlor gloom
Puppets stare and gently sway in tune
Crimson curtains hide the shadow play
Someone's smiling, but you can’t say who

[Pre-Chorus]
We run in spirals, delicate and worn
Tied to ribbons, barely ever torn

[Chorus]
All the clock hands turn and fade away
Children laugh on the carousel parade
Under painted sky, masks on every face
Are we strangers, or just circling the same?

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm la la la, mmm la la la

[Bridge]
Silver laughter dances down the hall
Silent secrets gathered, one and all
Folded letters drifting through the air
Patchwork stories only dreamers share

[Chorus]
All the clock hands turn and fade away
Children laugh on the carousel parade
Under painted sky, masks on every face
Are we strangers, or just circling the same?

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm la la la, mmm la la la

[Outro]
Gilded footsteps echo down the stair
Hollow laughter drifted on the air
Porcelain figures bow and turn away
Curtains falling slow at close of day

Mmm la la la, mmm la la la
Mmm la la la, mmm la la la
Mmm la la la, mmm la la la
