Carry on

My mom rocked me to sleep
On nights when I was weak
Sometimes dad would do the same for her
Fear what I can't see
The air is filled with beasts
A desperate dance, a ballet of retreat

So what's it that they have that I don't?
Something that is worth its weight in gold
Something that their blood does carry helps me carry on
I'll carry on

At times, they'd hide and weep
But love was still in between
Going fifteen years; how could they be so sure?
The hallways knew my name
Those white coats were my shame
But with mom and dad I knew I had the world

So what's it that they have that I don't?
Something that is worth its weight in gold
Something that their blood does carry helps me carry on
(Thanks to you) I'll carry on

I know my parents carry the guilt
This wasn't supposed to happen
There isn't a before and after
So tell me what's supposed to happen
A burden to my bones I feel
This wasn't supposed to happen
My body's not a cage I'm trapped in
All in all

There's nothing that they have that I don't
Something that is worth its weight in gold
Something that their blood does carry helps me carry on
I always knew I'd carry on
