Tears

Tears building up in my eyes

Ignore my silent sighs

Ignore my silent cries

Listen to the smile's lies

-

Don't look at my face

I'm a disgrace

But why should I hide

When I could take this in pride

-

Draw on your arms to cover the scars

Don't be afraid, reach for the stars

You don't need wings, let the stars rain down

Don't be afraid to show your real frown

-

The beauty in the knife

Intricate as art

The danger of life

Was there from the start

-

You don't need to fear it

To be let near it

You don't need to smile

It's not worth while

-

Find your own beauty

In the things you hold close

Warm up that heart you supposedly froze

-

Let the tears run

And if they're not there

Don't be afraid, for this isn't rare
