Truce

Like a freight train blow to the chest

You taste the backhand slap from God

But you say that nothing's new

You've lived a life of pain and loss

The scars you bare attest

To the trials you've overcome

But proud, you plant your feet

Where stronger men had to run

What do you feel inside

Under the wheels of life

A truce forgotten, a truce erased

This heart you've opened has already been replaced

Woke from a heavy sleep

With a call that broke you the news

You had to hear it twice and

Both times it ripped and pierced you through

So now you stand alone

Looking down upon this mess

Another day creeps by, yes

Another day, another test

What do you feel inside

Under the wheels of life

A truce forgotten, a truce erased

This heart you've opened has already been replaced

What you've gained from this life

Is nothing, dues remain

Take or give, makes no difference

You still feel the shame

What do you feel inside

Under the wheels of life

A truce forgotten, a truce erased

This heart you've opened has already been replaced
