Suicidal Pollyanna from Revolving Doors by Tom Woodward

Every waking nightmare has an end
The straight line to the edge is around the bend
Suicidal Pollyanna be my friend
There's a hole out of which I cannot ascend

I see the shattered mirror image of the past full moon
Spin out of the sky like a helium balloon
Suicidal Pollyanna, you decorate the room
Make it shine like a crucifix
Make it shine in the moonlight's tricks

Every silver lining hides a cloud
I cannot find my feet on shifting ground
Suicidal Pollyanna let me down
Behind every smiling face is a crying clown

I see the ticker tape confetti of yesterday's schemes
Dissolve into the dust of my hopes and dreams
Suicidal Pollyanna, you're stifling my screams
You're not gonna make it stop
Coz time is an endless drop

Now I'm riding trains nowhere new
Everywhere's the same without you
Suicidal Pollyanna in my heart
Together we are one when we're apart
