lyrics

Silent Tear

I know
I’m feeding all my frights and fears
I know
I’m misreading all that’s meant sincere

But still dear
If you can't say it, then sing it
And if you can't write it, then paint it
And if you can't hold me, then show me
And if you’re too scared then free me

This silent tear
Is vibrant and clear
I don't read the stars
But the alignment of scars
No palms to read
Still won't retreat
No stains on your cup
But your touch is enough
To let me know
Or just tell me so
Or let me go

I know
I’m howling in a moonless night
I know
I’m building wings for doubts for flight
But still dear
If you can't say it then sing it
And if you can't write it then scream it or shout it or whisper about it
And if you’re too scared and if you can't be there then just free me

This silent tear
Is vibrant and clear
I don't read the stars
But the alignment of scars

No palms to read
Still won’t retreat
No stains on your cup
But your touch is enough
To let me know
Or just tell me so
Or let me go
