I can't escape these tears,
that shine when they fall.
I can't escape these fears,
in a shadow so tall.
I've cried so long,
only muffles seep out.
I've cried on and on,
full of eternal doubt.
I'll continue to weep,
'til the pain goes away.
I'll continue to cut deep,
'til my veins give way.
My tears are like,
never ending curls.
Precious and white,
tears of pearls.

I can't escape these tears,
that shine when they fall.
I can't escape these fears,
in a shadow so tall.
I've cried so long,
only muffles seep out.
I've cried on and on,
full of eternal doubt.
I'll continue to weep,
'til the pain goes away.
I'll continue to cut deep,
'til my veins give way.
My tears are like,
never ending curls.
Precious and white,
tears of pearls.
