this tatted tear means more to me
than people think, it means
I never took a life, but I lost
a lot of life, I had in mines
I remember the time
then I put it in the, back of my mind
no one knows, how I feel inside
and I don't even try, to explain
every ones in pain and it's all the same
we hurt one another, all the time
but we can't stand to take it
on our brain, it drives us insane
like a migraine that drives us
into darkness and silence
reaching for an aspirin and askin
God to cure it, trying to endure it
sometimes I just got to get away
so I floor it, don't need a lot of shade
I ignore it, pop the top and pour it
out into the drought, for the ones
who are no longer here to suffer
I wonder, where they are, where did
they go and how far, was it up
coz, I seen them lowered in the ground
I wonder is there birth, after earth
when worst comes to worst
how many tears, have to fall
for the new Jerusalem to come
