We Carry On

Portishead · Third [2008]

The taste of life, I can't describe,

It's choking on my mind.

Reaching out, I can't believe;

Faith, it can't decide.



On and on, I carry on,

But underneath my mind...

And on and on I tell my self

It's this I can't disguise.



Oh, can't you see?

Holding on to my heart

I bleed the taste of life.



The pace, the time, I can't survive.

It's grinding down the view,

Breaking out which way to choose,

A choice I can't renew.



Holding on, I carry on,

But underneath my mind...

And on and on I tell my self

It's this I can't disguise.



Oh, can't you see?

Holding on to my heart

I bleed, no place is safe.



Can't you see the taste of life?
