All That's Left to See - The Carrier

Burdened with the task of keeping track of the days

Counting the minutes on the clock as they fade away

I never thought I’d even make it to see today

But I’m here, and this life I lead is caving in on me

Dragging me through the streets, bringing me to my knees

But as the world spins around me another day comes and goes

And I’m still waiting

I didn’t choose to be in this world

My self destructive acts will always go unheard

And this veil I hide behind gives me a better way to see what this world is like

I watched you change.

You watched me do the same

And I saw your change, but I’ll never let my hate do the same

I never dreamed my life would end up this way

Searching for any meaning in this fucked up place

Everyone here once spoke in a similar way

Singing the same songs that we once sang

The same songs

You knew my face, you never knew me

You saw your demons when you looked right at me

You knew my face, you never knew me

Never knew me at all

Here we are, with shattered hearts

Staring back at me, no more room to breathe

World caves in on me, all that’s left to see

A man so lost and confused

A man so beaten black and blue

A man staring back at you

A man just like you
