Tears That Wash a Tired Sky

Agony
She cries.
Hiding in agony
She covers a smile that brightens the day
That lays to rest in front of stone
Preparing for malignance
But I have seen the portrait your beauty creates
You don’t deserve
You don’t deserve to sleep
Here you fight to find your way out
Cutting for freedom
Here you fight, find your way out
What have you found?
The marks you place in vain won’t bring you out
Let these words take you from the sky
To the air that I walk where scars will heal
Show your arms to the angels
They will cry for what you have done to yourself
The tears they shed will wash the sky
They will wash the scars away
The clouds taking with them the salt
The marks you place in vain won’t bring you out
Let these words take you from the shade
THIS IS NO PLACE FOR BEAUTY
THIS IS NOT WHERE YOU SLEEP 2x
As I lead you to the clouds
No more tears for I am here
You see the way out
Is when you smile.
