I Am a Living Tear That Flows

Why these tears?
What can they mean?
The pain I feel, it is the same,
whether or not it has a name.
I am a living tear that flows.

All the pain I feel today
Is just tomorrow’s yesterday.

I am a living tear that flows.
Why these tears?
What can they mean?
The pain I feel, it is the same
Whether or not it has a name.
