The Carried

[Verse 1]
Swallowin' self-imposed compensated pieces of what I know
Breathin', lettin' go
One day at a time is still to slow

[Pre-Chorus]
I have not lived like this
Gonna shape another one. Will I miss?
I have not felt like this
Every day gets longer now
What if I should miss?
It comes around
Beats me again
It comes around

[Chorus]
I've painted pictures for so long
But I can't stand myself, so would you carry me?
Please can you tell me where I've gone?
I can't stand myself, so would you carry me?

[Verse 2]
Crawlin', no more floor
Though she's jaded me, I still need more
Rotten from the core
Impatiently waitin' what's in store

[Pre-Chorus]
I have not lived like this
Gonna shape another one. Will I miss?
I have not felt like this
Every day gets longer now
What if I should miss?
It comes around
Beats me again
It comes around

[Chorus]
I've painted pictures for so long
But I can't stand myself, so would you carry me?
Please can you tell me where I've gone?
I can't stand myself, so would you carry me?

[Instrumental break 3:01-3:17]
Oh

[Bridge]
Stare at me - Eye to eye
Comfort me - As I cry
Bury me - When I die
Carry me

[Chorus]
I've painted pictures for so long
But I can't stand myself, so would you carry me?
Please can you tell me where I've gone?
I can't stand myself, so would you carry me?
