Tristyn Leach Hard Wearing Soul
Were born to this life with the world on our shoulder
whats played as a game soon gets real as we get older
and it feels like were passengers on a ghost train
the sky's a blanket of fear where through seeps the rain
and its dungeon dark
playing servant to our hearts
We fire the sky with blazing eyes
hopeful wishing for the rain to subside
as we walk through these barricades of love and fear
if faith survives it remains unclear
while lying in winters hands
its up to us to make a stand
oh and hear the rulers sermon
the sound of a voice to betray
watch the guardian angels
hide their faces in shame
yeah this world may scorn us
with its cold surprise
but still destiny will call us
someday from patient eyes
but tell me how the hell would we cope dear
if we never had a hard wearing soul
a hard wearing soul
Now there's misty windows outside my eyes
the soul of a pretender a careful disguise
with high boots on my feet to help me walk tall
and wipers and my eyes to wipe away the tears that fall
and a tailored smile
its just a survivors style
Well hopes bright light flickers in the distance
cant make it on our own without assistance
cause there's plenty of traps designed to catch your soul
while you're too busy navigating new curves in the road
and its a shameful game
learning lessons the hard way
oh hear the rulers sermon
the sound of a voice to betray
watch the guardian angels
hide their faces in shame
yeah this world may scorn us
with its cold surprise
but still destiny will call us
someday from patient eyes
but tell me how the hell would we cope dear
if we never had a hard wearing soul
a hard wearing soul
oh tell me how the hell would we cope dear
if we never had a hard wearing soul
a hard wearing soul
a hard wearing soul
a hard wearing soul
