Lyrics
Grimly I recall a child who greeted life with open arms
But this child had to become a man, his own crops to sow
And 'neath the shade of sanity, their bitter taste would grow
With false pretense were written
The articles I signed
Once aboard, to nothing
Came all that I designed
If this bitter taste of anger could be washed away
Maybe I could trust the promise of another day?
If only I could cry, cry
Salty tears on dusty ground
Inner screams that make no sound won't echo
Wish that I could cry, cry
Fertile tears on barren soil
No longer trying to recoil
But rather learning to enjoy life as it be
Tears of anger, make a man of me
I long for a time, here the mysteries were solved
As the blanks on the map were filled
The blanks in our hearts were growing
Now that all roads lead back here, there's no point in going
I want to master more
Than just staying afloat
I long to write a tale that differs
From what others wrote
If this sense of longing could be washed away
Maybe I would meet the challenge, of another day
If only I could cry, cry
Salty tears on dusty ground
Inner screams that make no sound won't echo
Wish that I could cry, cry
Fertile tears on barren soil
No longer trying to recoil
But rather learning to enjoy, life as it be
Tears of longing, make a man of me
There's no way to cut the gordian knot
Of past webs entangled
The cry inside you try to fight
So free breath is strangled
We might only have our berth on board this vessel once, no more
Would that I could cut the ropes and finally leave the shore
Seems to me that we must walk the plank with open eyes
And not for shattered hearts of men
Do the seagulls cry, cry?
Salty tears on dusty ground
Inner screams that make no sound won't echo
Wish that I could cry, cry
Fertile tears on barren soil
No longer trying to recoil
But rather learning to enjoy life as it be
Tears of sorrow make a man of me
