Lyrics
True tears of joy
Cry true tears of joy
Cry
Cry
Come on, confess your confusion, spread it around
They trickle down your cheek, the tears fall
Like seed on barren ground
Your thoughts are scattered like paper everywhere
Tiny pieces of laughter and despair
But you cry true tears of joy
Passion is your weakness, you feed it every day
Like a moth to the naked flame, you just can't keep away
You twist the truth then turn the other cheek
Everyone knows it's salvation you seek
You cry true tears of joy
Cry true tears of joy
The pen marks the page
The ink numbs the pain
Etched across my soul
Engraved in my heart
Tears of joy fall from my face
A ray of sunlight in the midst of the rain
Blood stains, scarred, I fade
Just the thought of change
I was born in a place where scorn and hate outweighs
What humanity's left is just one more breath
And I'll see you cry true tears of joy
Cry true tears of joy
I'll see you cry true tears of joy
Cry true tears of joy
Cry true tears of joy
Cry true tears
Cry true tears of joy
Cry true tears
