New dawn brings, yet another day
And you’re feeling like you’ve been led astray.
The same old song, the same old dance,
Your will is fading, with every glance.
You have no money, you have no home,
Or perhaps the world’s left you alone.
Whatever the story, no matter the case,
You still have your pride and the pain in your face
And if life isn’t what they said it would be,
Or it feels like you have no control.
And if what you knew, of yourself, and what you hold inside,
Was a block long left behind,
With us all, you’re walking the line.
And as you drift away into the years,
From the pain you hold back the tears.
All of the times you were brought down, neglected, kicked around
But the deepest scars beckon this scene,
As you weep for fading dreams.
And you’re too far along to turn back around
Somewhere in no place, you got lost.
Born a clean slate, your virgin pages began to fill.
A scripture to mimic your mold,
But not by you, this story is told.
When the darkened clouds linger in the sky,
And the bad news brings no tear to your eye.
When the room you’re in turns to grey.
The machine is ripping your soul away.
When the dear and close leave you behind,
A new meaning of life is yours to find.
When you look into the mirror you will see,
It’s no longer your face but something obscene.
