Downstream - The Carrier

I heard the same story today of a man who fell in love with hate

And combined with the addictions that he faced, because to lose himself and

change

It’s so easy to call into a trap

A vicious cycle of good friends that can never give back

Always there to help when you need to escape

Never help with the healing, just to numb the pain

Barely giving you any mental state

Removing you from the fucking world you hate

And you always say

I see no future

I have no home

There’s no point in going on

These scars dig deep into my soul

I’m trying not to let go

How many more false words can you speak?

How much more suffering can you inflict?

And when the people ask what you did

I’ll lie to them and tell them of all the good you did

In the shadows resides all your hopes and dreams

That you threw away, all for nothing

And the light from the night sky shows all you did while we slept

Downstream is where your body will float, until it sinks

Dragged down by all the sins that you keep

Holding onto memories of someone I’ll never know

Trying to let go of all that remained when you selfishly left this world

Being so close to what haunts this soul, facing the same destiny

My story is untold.

My story is untold
