lyrics

I won’t let you die if you prove you can cry
Said the Stranger
But if you don’t weep then you’ll die in your sleep
Said the Voice
I can see in your eye that you won’t ever cry
When in danger
I can smell on your breath that you won’t even cry facing death
But if you want to live than you will have to give
Tears for something
Or everything suffering now
Will join thou in demise
And you can’t pray for help
‘Cause you’re all by your self in this trial
To prove that you’re real you must show you can feel
Through your eyes
I try and I try and I try but I fail and I fail
Now why can’t I cry
If not out of fear or compassion a tear in reaction
To worlds gone awry
And I’m sad and I know that I’m sad
But maybe I’m too mad to release any teardrops
With every beat of my heart
It grows closer to dark oh God let me cry
After what seemed like years
I finally shed tears for my sister
Because she could not understand
What I went through inside
And I knew it would only hurt
If I managed to tell her
And I couldn’t stand if she thought that I planned when I died
So I cried
