It's‎ never‎ easy‎ when‎ you're‎ left‎ behind
World‎ passes‎ by‎ like‎ they're‎ completely‎ blind
You‎ blend‎ into‎ the‎ backdrop‎ like‎ an‎ evergreen‎
You're‎ right‎ in‎ front‎ but‎ you‎ are‎ never‎ seen

Humanity‎ just‎ doesn't‎ seem‎ to‎ care‎
They‎ will‎ pretend‎ that‎ you're‎ not‎ really‎ there
You're‎ just‎ a‎ blur‎ as‎ they‎ go‎ speeding‎ by
They‎ never‎ pause‎ to‎ ask‎ the‎ question‎ why

(Chorus)
We're‎ left‎ back
Fade‎ to‎ black‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
We‎ feel‎ trapped‎
Faces‎ slapped
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
There's‎ no‎ slack
Break‎ our‎ backs
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
Way off-track
No‎ comeback‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎


It‎ starts‎ out‎ different‎ but‎ it‎ ends‎ the‎ same
Unlucky‎ losers‎ in‎ life's‎ vicious‎ game
The‎ odds‎ are‎ bad‎ when‎ you‎ don't‎ get‎ a‎ chance‎
Unwitting‎ victims‎ of‎ their‎ circumstance

Skies‎ are‎ gray‎ without‎ the‎ hope‎ of‎ sun
So‎ much‎ potential‎ that‎ has‎ come‎ undone‎
The‎ streets‎ are‎ hard‎ and‎ they‎ don't‎ give‎ a‎ break‎
What‎ you‎ have‎ left‎ they‎ will‎ most‎ surely‎ take‎

(Chorus)
We're‎ left‎ back
Fade‎ to‎ black‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
We‎ feel‎ trapped‎
Faces‎ slapped
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
There's‎ no‎ slack
Break‎ our‎ backs
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
Way off-track
No‎ comeback‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎


A‎ helping‎ hand‎ to‎ the‎ forgotten‎ ones
Encouragement‎ instead‎ of‎ bitten‎ tongues
Just‎ take‎ a‎ minute‎ from‎ your‎ busy‎ life‎
To‎ think‎ of‎ those‎ who‎ must‎ contend‎ with‎ strife‎

It's‎ always‎ simple‎ with‎ the‎ easy‎ path‎
It‎ doesn't‎ add‎ up‎ when‎ you‎ do‎ the‎ math
A‎ second‎ chance‎ or‎ sometimes‎ just‎ a‎ first‎
Can‎ resonate‎ that‎ you‎ are‎ loved‎ on‎ earth

(Chorus)
We're‎ left‎ back
Fade‎ to‎ black‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
We‎ feel‎ trapped‎
Faces‎ slapped
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
There's‎ no‎ slack
Break‎ our‎ backs
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
Way off-track
No‎ comeback‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎

We're‎ left‎ back
Fade‎ to‎ black‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
We‎ feel‎ trapped‎
Faces‎ slapped
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
There's‎ no‎ slack
Break‎ our‎ backs
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
Way off-track
No‎ comeback‎
We're‎ falling‎ through‎ the‎ cracks‎
