Nineteen Years Young - The Carrier

I’m nineteen years young

And my mind is weathered

I’m nineteen years young

And things aren’t getting any clearer

Since '88

I’ve felt this hate

Suffocated by my inability

To overcome the unknown

Only fragments of memories

I can’t piece together

I can’t turn inwards

Because I can’t see

Because I can’t fully understand

Who I was born to be

I have a family who will

Always love the me that they never see

My tormented soul ravages me

After a lifetime of praying

I’ll come to an end

Only to find my years of praying have fallen

To deaf ears

Ideas come from nowhere

Where was the beginning of it all?

I’ve cheated, I’ve lied, I’ve stole, I’ve sold my soul

All in hopes of ending it all

The future I see looks bright

But the lights are dimming

The future I see looks bright

But the lights are dimming

But the lights are dimming

I’d pray to him if I thought he was real

I wouldn’t question him if he could make me feel

Anything other than apathy

Anything other than certain tragedy

I’ve got not other choice

But to have faith in life

Regardless of the end

I must live my life

I’m seeing the world in black and white

As if everyday I live is a memory

Of another persons life

As if everyday I live is from another’s life
