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 whiskey

I was sixteen 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

'Cause 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 whiskey

Looking at the water

I am sixteen, I am nothing

It's a cliff we're leaning from

'Cause 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

'Cause 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
