Muddy Tears

Story

songs in the night

beautiful world how much I love you

beautiful world how hard you try

beautiful world how perfect are you

beautiful world and yet we cry


beautiful world we’re sorry to hurt you

beautiful world when all flowers bloom

beautiful world how we want to love you

beautiful world and yet we feel gloom


beautiful world that loves us so dearly

beautiful world why are we so cruel?

beautiful world that loves us so clearly

beautiful world will we ever love you?


spiders live in my bones

my skin is of dirt

my eyes are of stones

the spiders have webbed

in secret my bones

my face has belonged to a tree once before

its blood gave me tears they‘ll bleed for once more


my flesh is the wind

it will soon be long gone

my eyes are of wax

they‘ll melt in the sun


my skin is of mud

will soon leave with the rain

my fingers are thorns

they sing about pain
