More Than Tears

you're to scared to look me in my eyes Witness for yourselves my soul as it cries Don't ever look me in my eyes I'm everything the world despise I've been falling for years in this black pit Calling my fears, chasing my tears after I spit On a seven day week Never from heaven do we speak Anything I love is lost Worse than my life, happiness was the cost For years and years I've been mistreated Never once was my heart defeated Scrapping iron and steel To whom do you think this appeals On a three day resting break No time for plates, I got demons to take I'm running in circles Everything in this atmosphere is purple Why do we die leave close ones to cry Cross my flesh with a hot towel Respect me for the things I said in foul Put my hands together and let the world know I tried Don't ever look me in my eyes You're to scared to look me in my eyes visualize for yourself, my soul as she cries

Holy mother...intense! May the glass become half-full rather than half-empty. No matter who tries to sip our drink. Well done, Jerry!
