Tylt - Strength in Tears

They say scars tell many stories
But what do mine tell
The bruises create roses
My veins are their stems

Blight stains half my mind
Splitting it in two
It's like a rash, disease
And it's overcoming me

Nah, nah, Don't cry a tear, no
Not allowed to cry, not allowed to weep, so
Nah, nah, don't cry a tear, no
Depression's in your mind, so just figure how to deal
With the pain you can't get rid of
With the blame you can't get rid of
You're stronger than this, stronger than this
Because I measure strength in tears, yeah

Paint drips from the petals
Thorns press into my paper-thin skin
A scream rips through me like claws
Venom in every word

Knots in my jaw and knots in my throat
My shiner's glued my eye shut
Everything's blurry, everything's blurry
My vision is tainted red

Nah, nah, Don't cry a tear, no
Not allowed to cry, not allowed to weep, so
Nah, nah, don't cry a tear, no
Depression's in your mind, so just figure how to deal
With the pain you can't get rid of
With the blame you can't get rid of
You're stronger than this, stronger than this
Because I measure strength in tears, yeah

But the truth is no one can see me
No one can hear what I say
I'm on the opposite side of the world's view
I'm forced into agonizing silence

All that's in my way
Is what's in front of me
This society
Shoved me down the drain

All that's in my way
Is what's in front of me
This society
Shoved me down the drain

Nah, nah, Don't cry a tear, no
Not allowed to cry, not allowed to weep, so
Nah, nah, don't cry a tear, no
Depression's in your mind, so just figure how to deal
With the pain you can't get rid of
With the blame you can't get rid of
You're stronger than this, stronger than this
Because I measure strength in tears, yeah

All that's in my way
Is what's in front of me
This society
Shoved me down the drain
