Storms that well beneath these sunken eyes
Each day, an echo of the night
Faces painted by the morning light
Symphonies play and new day comes alive
Chasing dreams beyond these endless skies
Mind keeps going, keeps going for miles and miles
The silent battles we fight
The smiles we use to hide them
Why do the innocent suffer
Why do the good die young
Maybe this world
Doesn't deserve them
One hundred years is a long life
Seventy five with a good wife
Where do we go from here
How long will we last as a memory
Cherished by those who loved dearly
Will we just disappear
The Silent battles we fight
The smiles we use to hide them
Just when you think you've got it
Wrapped around your fingers
Things come unraveling
Back to the beginning
Just when you think
You've got it all figured out
Life deals a wild card
Filling your head with doubt
Why do the innocent suffer
Why do the good die young
Maybe this world
Doesn't deserve them
One hundred years is a long life
Seventy five with a good wife
Where do we go from here
How long will we last as a memory
Cherished by those who loved dearly
Will we just disappear
The Silent battles we fight
The smiles we use to hide them
These moments of stillness
Too few and far between
So many questions
So many steps from where we've been
We live, we learn
We feel, we bleed
The Silent battles we fight
The smiles we use to hide them
