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
