Don't You Cry

The future here is shattered Your voice is thin as rain Unholy broken shadows You know you'll never tame This winter lake is frozen Cold fantasy turned on its side The screw just keeps on turning But it's guilt makes you decide That you can't cry Although you've tried Run and hide But don't you cry The clocks have stopped their ticking Time grips you in its vice These hands have always claimed you Marooned here in midnight Poets have their studies Babies have their mind Just visions from a hilltop Or a train journey late at night But you can't cry Although you try Run and hide But don't you cry Faces haunt the mirror Dark voices close behind They're nothing to the horror Of the loneliness you hide Your morning views its headstone Its cruelty knows no bounds A mist enshrouds tomorrow Today the hammer pounds But you can't cry Although you've tried Run and hide But don't you cry Got no dreams to speak of Hope's teeth they start to bite Your heart of molten ashes Its sparks showered you in spite You envy all the others The ones who own their eyes Serenity is a planet On which you can't reside Your lover's ghostly memory Haunts you all your days His ship sails bold horizons You stalk him in its wake But you can't cry Although you've tried Run and hide From what's inside Oh, you can't cry Although you've tried Run and hide But don't you cry He knows that she's so sad She knows the clocks won't turn back He knows that she's so sad She hopes the clocks turn back He knows that she's so sad She knows the clocks won't turn back
