The Great Divide

from We Owe Ourselves This by Relics

lyrics

This is reality of where we stand.
Our lives; broken and unfulfilled.
Our hearts wasted on all the battles it seems we can never win.
Our hopes threadbare.
And I know that look on your face because you wonder what you're still doing here,
when you have no arms left to raise.
Become nothing or bear the truth;
That life is hard. Things will not work out.
And you will hurt, but you will live.
And that's all there is.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
We live past hope.
This is the song to sing to your children for when they're feeling beat and afraid.
We live past hope.
This is the song to sing to your loved ones when their god has left them out in the rain.
We live past hope.
