A Large Tear
There’s a crack in the page of reality
A part of life so torn it departs us
I saw no hope in fixing the tear’s body
The whole page is faulty now, an emptiness
It’s hopeless, the tear is complete and true
A part of life so torn it departs us
I don’t know a more impure thought of you
There’s nothing here to fix this old paper
It’s hopeless, the tear is complete and true
The sky is always white and it’s not azure
Nothing is normal now, the tear goes too deep
There’s nothing here to fix this old paper
I’m under the tear, in fear I start to weep
I’m scared that it may get to me and I die
Nothing is normal now, the tear goes too deep
We all must perish, the tear covers the sky
There’s a crack in the page of reality
I’m scared that it might get to me and I die
I saw no hope in fixing the tear’s body
