Wash Away My Sins - The Carrier

For the first time, you can see a side of me that you’ve never seen

It hides behind this mask I fake

But I hope that you can’t see the real me

I tried to dream my life away, in hopes of forgetting yesterday

'Cause it’s when no one’s around that my mind plays tricks on me

I’m drowning myself in excuses for my actions

I’m trying to make sense of all my bad habits

I’m carefully miscalculating my next mistake

Predicted disregard for planning any future for me

Can someone please remind me of a different way to live?

Before tonight fades away, I’ll have dug my own grave

I’m becoming more deaf to heartbroken reports of youth

Disillusioned too, we can pretend like we never knew

Of better days, a life without hate, where everything was new

Where the struggle of getting through the day was something I never knew

I can’t even recall a time, or remember when in my life

I wasn’t worried about doing what’s wrong or doing what’s right

My mind still screams at me, while my body bleeds

As I try to wash away my sins from this life I lead

Right before the night slowly slips away, and I get my chance to escape

I’m constantly reminded of all my failures and my defeats

And when I fall asleep the only nightmare I have is life

Dreaming my life away, forgetting yesterday

I’m becoming more deaf to heartbroken reports of youth

Disillusioned too, we can pretend like we never knew

Of better days, a life without hate, where everything was new

Where the struggle of getting through the day was something I never knew
