Tears are the visionary of my mind
Tears are forever my life
Tears are the soft cries of my sleep
Tears, the one I shed yesterday
The one I shed today

Tears are the lonely cries of mine
Tears are the drops of my eyes
Tears are the water I washed my face in
Tears are the tidal waves of my sight

Tears are the raindrops of my fogged window
Tears are the dripping sound of my gutter
Tears are illusions surrounding my humble abode
Tears are what I woke up to each morning

Tears are the riveting pain of my heart
Tears are the isolation of my soul
Tears are the forbidden love of mine
Tears are my sorrows

Tears are the music playing at night
Tears are the sound of broken tunes
Tears are the silence of the night
Tears are the sound of 4 o'clock in the morning

Tears are the broken glasses and open wounds
Tears are the noose around my neck
Tears are the free falling of my mind
Tears I shed today
Tears I'll shed tomorrow
