lyrics

If I could cry I’d weep an ocean
Drown the world in my emotion
But my eyes are dry as desert heat
Unbroken bleaching bones
Saline streaks are distant memories
Rivers flowed once in these sands
But the cactus flowers blooming
Cannot bring the nectar back
I could bleed myself to bring
The wetness that I need to life
Open up old wounds with knives
Who crave that sweet forgotten rite
But it wouldn’t save my mother from the hunters
Who would see us die
Why should it save me from myself
When all I’ve ever done is lie?
Lay me down to rest, I’ve made a mess
Of making up my face
The streaks of red just berry stains
And nothing more, make no mistake
I was fearless once, I packed a punch
It left me bruised and beat
A fallen peach no one will eat
I’ll rot before you taste me sweet
So leave me in the past
I walk too fast to count the teardrops shed
Maybe I can cry again when I’ve gone through another death
