A Stranger to Myself - The Carrier

I’ve tried to wrap my mind around

The thought of forgetting all that I’ve been taught

All I’ve done with my life has brought me here

Not my hopes, my dreams, my fears

And even though I’ve never been too sure of who I am

I can still feel the blood pump beneath my skin

Straight to my heart, poisoned with lies that I keep

I stare in the mirror and I don’t even know

Who I see, what I’ve become

A stranger to myself, avoiding everyone else

I’ve been signing my name in blood just to get out

Escape to a place that could never exist

I regret all the chances that I have missed

I hand my self out instead, torture myself with this hate

Outsiders know me better than I know myself Here’s a glimpse into my world just

to have something to hold onto

My world just gets smaller and turned inside out

While the people who talk never need the help

My life is not just a story, an end to the beginning

Of a picture perfect journey that I travel myself

All I can see when I look around

Are people living lives of misery

The people’s eyes, they still hold fear

The people’s words, they’re so insincere

The people’s minds, they’re still unclear

They don’t seem to bear the burden of what’s real

Abandon any image of who I am

Alone, all alone again

Abandon any image of who I am

Alone, all alone again
