Old Soul Lyrics
If you could see my soul
Tell me all the things that I would hide inside myself
Take it as it comes
Use it as a rule of thumb and don't forget what's gone
I would tell myself
All these things in life that can be bought are on the shelf
This city hides the truth
Run on down and tell me all you had to prove
I am rolling, ashes falling
I can't live again
I am rolling, ashes falling
I won't love again
Take it for the truth
I hid the place so deep but then it took control of you
I'll always feel old
You know you were my silver lining but now you're gold
This is my roll, this is my roll
I'm an old soul
This is my roll, self destruct soul
I'm on a roll
I am rolling, ashes falling
I can't live again
I am rolling, ashes falling
I won't love again
I am rolling, ashes falling
I won't live again
Back-lit blood stream, mixmatched daydream
I won't feel again
Tell me all the things that I would hide inside myself
Take it as it comes
Use it as a rule of thumb and don't forget what's gone
All these things in life that can be bought are on the shelf
This city hides the truth
Run on down and tell me all you had to prove
I can't live again
I won't love again
I hid the place so deep but then it took control of you
I'll always feel old
You know you were my silver lining but now you're gold
I'm an old soul
I'm on a roll
I can't live again
I won't love again
I won't live again
I won't feel again

'This is my roll' definitely sounds like it should be 'role' instead. But this is how it was posted on their website, and it's one of those things you just can't be too sure enough about to change.
What it's about? It sounds like it has lot to do with the reincarnation idea of an 'Old Soul'.

tl;dr Old Souls are souls hat have been reincarnated many times already and are nearing the end of their life cycle. They are often very tired and do not accomplish much in their individual lives. This usually stems from an attitude of having given up on the world.
