"Salty Tears"   9 - 30 - 03



in a trance i walk these halls

no longer do i hear your calls

but not because i'm not hearing

but a result of the hate you're smearing

how did i get here, how do i deal

with this pain i know is real

things could go so much easier

if my pain could so please her



you're adding insult to the injury

it burns, it scars, it's piercing me

the salt you pour, this rubbing motion

you execute with such loving devotion

leave me please, deep in my dark

the sanctum where i hide my heart

withdraw your light, just leave me be

back in my dark where i can't see



days go on as i am beaten

this treatment is just inhuman

the shallow walls i call my mind

delusion that'll protect for a time

this retreat i call my home

a small range for me to roam

an escape from all my trouble

but they only seem to double

it isn't enough that i am pained

please stop beating my remains

i know i've wronged, i did you harm

and did so with a loving arm

but now your tongue it spits despise

and your hate's revealed with loving eyes

the thing i did, that awful deed

it was blind impulsive greed



i'm only human, i was a boy

in this deed i took no joy

can you forgive for this wrong

quickly slipping, i don't belong

take me back, please hold me tight

as you did through stormy nights

say words i love, whisper silently

all the things protected violently



now it's gone

now been so long

i don't belong

all for a wrong

please hear this song

before i'm gone



you're adding insult to the injury

it burns, it scars, it's piercing me

the salt you pour, this rubbing motion

you execute with such loving devotion

leave me please, deep in the dark

the sanctum where i hide my heart

withdraw your light, just leave me be

back in my dark where i can't see



just leave me be

don't let me see

hovering over me

insult to the injury

consumed by fear

these salty tears....
