Life Cuts You Down

Heavy

Cracked pavement

My worn out boots

Left a trail of red dust

Searching for something

Searching for someone

Searching for salt in the wound

The city

It swallows

It bites

Crowds pushing past

Everyone wanting

Everyone needing

Everyone bleeding for gold

Chorus

Day after day

Looking for peace

Looking for love

Trying to find your way

Then the sickle swings round

And life cuts you down

Life cuts you down

Life cuts you down

Verse 2

Stalling

Thin breath

Dark liquid stains

On a map that leads nowhere

I tried

I failed

I fell

Lining up for the prize

Ten thousand others

Ten thousand brothers

Ten thousand ghosts in the rain

One door

Locked tight

One light

Fading out fast

Chorus

Day after day

Looking for peace

Looking for love

Trying to find your way

Then the sickle swings round

And life cuts you down

Life cuts you down

Life cuts you down

Bridge

Maybe it's the climb

Maybe it's the fall

Maybe it's nothing at all

We run till we break

We give till they take

We scream till our voices are gone

Just to feel human

Just to feel steady

Just to feel something

Chorus

Day after day

Looking for peace

Looking for love

Trying to find your way

Then the sickle swings round

And life cuts you down

Life cuts you down

Life cuts you down

Post-Chorus

Cuts you down

Cuts you down

Oh it cuts you down

Cuts you down

Outro

Walking

Still walking

Day after day

Still looking for peace

Still looking for love

Trying to find

Just trying to find

My way
