Tears of the Devil
Sometimes we are sad.
Sometimes it is so bad.
We feel we cannot bear the burden.
Tears help us wash away the pain.
But the world is full of hate, and the pain is great.
For some, the tears will not come.
Happy faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Tearless faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Tears we must cry or life is a lie
We beat the devil with the tears we cry
They try in vain those burdened with extraordinary pain
They try to cry but their eyes remain dry.
They see all the happy faces collecting in the party spaces.
People without fears. They seem so happy these faces without tears.
Happy faces, come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Tearless faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Really they’re not crying, because they’re no longer trying.
They try to ignore, but pain grows in their core.
They are stuck on the train, only increasing the pain.
They didn’t know until they actually reached for the pill.
When the pain is too burdensome, this is when,
Happy faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Tearless faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Saved from their fears. Saved from their tears.
The pain will grow but no one will know, cuz it won’t show.
Everything will seem alright from outside to normal sight.
People avoid the fright of a true self-insight.
All around their eyes, no tears just lies.
They stack up lies that collect like flies.
Happy faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Tearless faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle
Don’t wait until it’s too late and the pain becomes too great.
It’s a nasty little pill. The Tears of the Devil.
You won’t know ’til. The Tears of the Devil.
Stripped of all will. The Tears of the Devil.
Eventually, it will kill. The Tears of the Devil.
Tears we must cry or life is a lie.
We beat the devil with the tears we cry.
Reject happy faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle.
Reject tearless faces come with the Tears of the Devil to peddle.
