Everyone’s got a flame to feed, a vein to bleed
There’s suffering to be done
Everyone’s got a monkey on their back, a looming heart attack
When there’s nowhere left to run
Everyone’s got masterpiece, some expertise
That’s hiding in their brain
Everyone’s got something to say, an egg to lay
Before they go insane
Another passing chance
A change in circumstance
Another brighter day
We’ve all got a load to bear, some weight to share
That’s heavy on our hearts
Everyone’s got their own dream, though it’s difficult
Difficult to tell us apart
We’ve all been read the riot act, but the facts
Never seem to get in our way
We’re no strangers to heartaches but we’re still looking
Looking for a brighter day
There’s always one more show to play
And another blessed way
Another brighter day
We’ve all got a fleeting chance, a change in circumstance
Is never really too far away
But fate is such fickle friend and in the end
It always seems to get in the way
Everyone’s struck with afflictions
Some contradictions
Living in their head
It’s all just a blessing and a curse
But it could be worse
You know you could be dead
Everyone’s got a price to pay, every day
It’s raining on your head
It’s all just a blessing and a curse
But it could be worse
You know you could be dead
