Every day same routine
Every day same the meaning
Never do we see...
The tears of the plain faces

The everyday normal human
Walking, talking, with a smile

Do we ever see...?
Tears of the plain faces

A sight unknown
A sight unsure
No emotion
No expression

Home every night
Hiding away
From the gay of everyone
Hiding the...
Tears of the plain faces

Everyday, normal faces
Finally showing the
Tears of the plain faces

Showing...
Showing...
Showing...
No more hiding.
