Blood Filled Tears

Where did you go
You turned the lights out
Shut the door in your own face

Only you know
After midnight
Stars are crashing into place

For the first time, in a long time
The night is crystal clear
But the rain falls, on the asphalt
As you wipe away your tears

Cross my heart and hope to save a life
Let me in the shadows of your closing eyes
Visions getting stained
Clouded by the pain
Addicted to escape, but she can’t see that
Everyone’s insane
I see it every day
Watch them wash away
Their blood filled tears

Can you hear it, come in closer
Press your ear against my heart
If you scream, will they hear you?
If you’ve written off their part

Undercover, darkness wanders
As you say your last goodbye
Without a whisper, who could listen?
Silence was your loudest cry

Cross my heart and hope to save a life
Let me in the shadows of your closing eyes
Visions getting stained
Clouded by the pain
Addicted to escape, but she can’t see that
Everyone’s insane
I see it every day
Watch them wash away
Their blood filled tears

Now you’ve left me shattered on the ground
Can’t pick up the pieces if you’re not around
