Here the rain never ends, yet the drought extends
A darkness dwells in light, where the truth pretends
We travel these streets, with a smile and a frown
But inside we're torn, so we're up, and we're down
The smallest things can be a heavy weight to bear
A constant struggle between promise and despair
We hide behind our masks, in this pretty soiled land
Searching for salvation in empty grains of sand
Through the light of the night, and the haze of our minds
We confront our demons, just the ones we can't find
We're all saints, and we're sinners, rolled into one
Lost in the battle that can never be won
The smallest things can be a heavy weight to bear
A constant struggle between promise and despair
We hide behind our masks, in this pretty soiled land
Searching for salvation in empty grains of sand
In the alleys we roam, across the grass we play
We grapple with all of our sins, but let them stay
We're purposeful in our direction, yet drifting
In a sea of contradictions, ever shifting
The smallest things can be a heavy weight to bear
A constant struggle between promise and despair
We hide behind our masks, in this pretty soiled land
Searching for salvation in empty grains of sand
The rain never ends, yet the drought extends
A darkness dwells in light, where the truth pretends
We travel these streets, with a smile and a frown
But inside we're livin', we're dyin', without a sound
