The Way of Life

Peace, when I sign the lease
Nowadays, I hear the Devil crying in my sleep
Devil may cry, but I can tell from his lies
There is no life, so put down the knife
People will shut you down, that’s the way of life
And that’s okay, you don’t need them to stay awake
Hold your own, then you will find peace alone
Let it be known, that’s the way life goes
Mama, I know I did you wrong
Papa, you know being with her made us lost
All I want is peace, sold my soul to earn the piece
Many would say, I took it away
We can be our own worst ally, even though we have tried
To lie, to cry for forgiveness
And I suppose that’s the way life goes
I believe in peace, it’s something we compete
It ain’t no defeat if we all come to complete
It’s time to change how we feel, say less more, and build that door
Success is on its way, don’t let failure dismay
Peace, when I sign the lease
Nowadays, I hear the Devil crying in my sleep
Devil may cry, but I can tell from his lies
There is no life, so put down the knife
People will shut you down, that’s the way of life
And that’s okay, you don’t need them to stay awake
Hold your own, then you will find peace alone
Let it be known, that’s the way life goes
Peace, when I sign the lease
Nowadays, I hear the Devil crying in my sleep
Devil may cry, but I can tell from his lies
There is no life, so put down the knife
