Periphery - Carry On Lyrics

Periphery Lyrics

"Carry On"

Life in slow-motion under the sheets
And I saw you carry on
Holding your full weight
Buckling knees
But I saw you carry on
Stay in the light
Stay in the light
Or you'll find oblivion

The better thoughts won't let you in
If all your answers are medicine
A masochist who won't let go
You'll find yourself in the earth below

Please sit down
These walls are not your friends
They're not your friends
They box you out until the moment where you don't fit in

A lack of emotion pulling the strings
Believe me, I see, see everything
Maybe it's better for life to leave your heart
But I've seen you carry on
If you just stay in the light, yeah you'll find you carry on

Please sit down
These walls are not your friends
They're not your friends
They box you out until the moment where you don't fit in
Under attack
You're under attack
You like to lie to yourself
You lie to yourself
These walls are not your friends
They're not your friends
They like to shove it down your throat like a medicine, medicine

Life in slow-motion under the sheets
But I've seen you carry on
Lack of emotion pulling the strings
But I've seen you carry on
Maybe it's better for life to leave your heart
But I've seen you carry on
Yeah I've seen you carry on
Tell 'em I've seen you carry on
