Still We Carry On

(album: Rome - 2020)

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
