I see rivers of hurt in your beautiful blue eyes,
That not even your sweet, empty laugh can disguise.
I’ve heard your song before, and sung it too,
The lyrics match to the beat of your sad heart,
A heart I know you want to stop beating.
The sun will rise tomorrow on another dew-stricken day,
Waves will crash on the plastic-strewn shores.
Someone will hurt tomorrow, someone will fade away.
For every tear shed, for every wrist that has bled,
There’s a person mapped with healed scars.
There’s more of us than you know, my dear.
Sing our song and watch their lips move in reply,
Tattoo our anthem into your worn heart
Don’t let your demons tear you apart,
Don’t give into the suffocating fear.
