Lyrics to Still We Carry On
I believe there's something more
Hiding behind curtains
That get drawn against the light
That we all want
But cower from
And I remember sitting by the harbour
Drinking whisky
I was 16 years old
And waiting for my life to start
And in the morning
I would hold my dreams
Like they meant something
I would try to catch the vapour
It is weightless
Watch it fade
Coz life is not a circle
Nor a line that carves
A trail through time
It's nothing
We are nothing
And yet still we carry on
And somehow I can feel
Only a molecule
Away from me
Another life, another world
Or maybe there are none
And even if we all exist
Only in simulations
And everything I am thinking
Is just someone else's dream
I still feel I am drinking whisky
Looking at the water
I am 16, I am nothing
It's a cliff we're leaning from
Coz life is not a circle
Nor a line that carves
A trail through time
It's nothing
We are nothing
And yet still we carry on
Hiding behind curtains
That get drawn against the light
That we all want
But cower from
And I remember sitting by the harbour
Drinking whisky
I was 16 years old
And waiting for my life to start
And in the morning
I would hold my dreams
Like they meant something
I would try to catch the vapour
It is weightless
Watch it fade
Coz life is not a circle
Nor a line that carves
A trail through time
It's nothing
We are nothing
And yet still we carry on
And somehow I can feel
Only a molecule
Away from me
Another life, another world
Or maybe there are none
And even if we all exist
Only in simulations
And everything I am thinking
Is just someone else's dream
I still feel I am drinking whisky
Looking at the water
I am 16, I am nothing
It's a cliff we're leaning from
Coz life is not a circle
Nor a line that carves
A trail through time
It's nothing
We are nothing
And yet still we carry on
