In the pouring rains we're staring down this road again We kept right on walking, sidestepping insanity And we fucking prayed there'd be a means to the ends Now we're running red lights to hide or survive or to get nowhere at all Flooded by the headlines that left us empathy deprived With stupidity, our grandest praise We walk unfazed and swinging at everything in site As if there's a way to prove what a man should be And there ain't a damn thing we can do to stop it I don't know if we know how to be there for each other anymore There was a war inside us and we couldn't see the scheme The lasting light hung dull enough to not give us up So when the doors opened, we were the last ones standing And you looked through me as it all went by I ran every red light to get back to the tracks in time And I learned it's the little things that keep us going Like names and a date carved in the trestle frame Reminding me not to run in front of that train Most of us just want to live outspoken And forged anew in the path we were convinced of We'll live to lift these hanging heads They get nothing more from us
