About sly's checkered past, I made this one to pass the time.

Carousel

When it comes to how to live his life he can't be told
Says he got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a memory he's stuck with
But in reality he can't deal with this shit
He has issues and he can't take the pain
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the sadness he's got

But he can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop

He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
I'm too weak to face me
(He can only fool himself)
