Album: Something For The Pain (2011)

Past The Gates

The truth is they don't give us much time
And it wears us down and keeps fuelin' the grind
We take our shots and shield our pride
We lift these stones with the fire inside
Runnin' through a maze and we're trying to get ahead
In a rat race chasin' for our daily bread
There's no finish line out there in the streets
Well, what if there's somethin' more than what your eyes believe

Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell

It's hard to know where it starts or ends
It's the simple things that keep pullin' us in
We own these chains that pull the weight
And do our best just to dance with fate
And what if there's more than your heart can bleed
When the signs aren't clear and it's hard to breathe
And you're so fed up with how it's supposed to be
Yeah, there's gotta be somethin' more than what your eyes believe

Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell

Am I standin' on hollow ground
Cause there's nowhere left to run to now
And it's takin' its toll
It wears on my soul
I know there must be somethin' else
Past the gates of heaven
Past the gates of heaven
Past the gates of heaven and hell

Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell
