When the World Falls Like a Heavy Tear

When the World Falls Like a Heavy Tear

What is this world I loved like a rare flower?
it was sold to drugs that eat it from within always,
feels the pain that makes it go numb every single day,
said it's frozen by the fire that won't let it cry anymore.

Why is she the one I rejected when she needed me most?
she coughed up half a sick lung breathing with difficulty,
rise up from the mattress keeping you captive in the dark room,
I was with an actress playing roles on the stages of false life.

But fire and water always clash like two opposing forces,
look at the fact you don't know the storms you create with deeds,
lost at sea she's left on shore without help or hope,
the sun beats down hard and she can't handle the hot burn.

Salt in her wounds left her destroyed on the empty deserted beach,
wants to know what's your plan thoughts can be clearly planned,
but only time will tell what happens with the seed once planted,
a rose sprouted from black earth in the image of your deeds.

From deep pain are born thorns beauty born from heavy madness,
lost petals taken by wind like a priceless gift missed,
if heaven on earth can only be found once you've fallen,
you strike the ground hard and see what happened around you.

Now she's dressed in black her life has been a long tragedy,
the weight of the world is the size of a tear falling heavy,
she can't take anymore what was given to her with pain by cruel fate,
so let it go and let the world fall from her hands.

What world did I love sold to drugs consuming it slowly surely?
feels the pain that makes it numbly alive in every passing moment,
why did I reject her when she coughed the sick lung in heavy nights?
rise up from the mattress keeping you captive in your empty room.

Fire and water are forces clashing in violent storms,
your storms create chaos in the depths of sea where she's lost,
the sun beats powerfully she can't handle the light blinding her hard,
salt burns the wounds leaving her destroyed on the hot dry sand.

The plan is unknown planted thoughts grow slowly in time,
the rose from earth bears the image of your hidden deeds deep down,
from pain are born petals thorns are the inheritance of sad madness,
petals taken by wind are the lost gift of vanished love.

Heaven on earth is found only after you've fallen deep,
striking the ground hard you see what happened around the soul,
dressed in black her life tragically becomes a heavy story,
the weight of the world is the great tear falling from tired eyes.

Let the world fall from hands putting an end to deep sadness,
she can't carry anymore the burden pressing on heavy shoulders always,
so let go of everything that kept her bound to pain,
the world falls like a heavy tear finally freeing her from torments.
