lyrics

The skin around your skull is kept clear and clean but your eyes are full of everything you've seen. You can empty out your eyes and a teardrop holds a dream, the cause of the cry in a miniature picture scene. If you'd like to live, just lean towards the light, but if you'd rather die, you can run outside. A cause I cannot see has brought you close to me. A cause I cannot see is very real to me.

A reason i can't explain makes me feel this pain as clouds overcome the hills and water the weeds with rain. Flowers float into the sky , they float on a pitch black sea, where they shine so bright they become astronomy. We reach into the gospel and pull out what we need until our words become laws on whom we can and cannot feed. A cause I cannot see has brought you close to me. A cause I cannot see is very real to me.

The pathway to the pond through the center of the woods where your witnesses are gone, well, they never understood. There you find a hidden home where you write your poems and you leave your door wide open to avoid being alone. The skyline of the city's like a dead centipede. Sure, the ads are pretty, but they're too bright to read. You are what what I want and you are what I need. Love gives us permission but pain demands we plead. A cause I cannot see has brought you close to me. It's not where where you're supposed to be but still you've chosen me.

A teardrop holds a dream - the cause of the cry. If nothings what it seems, it does not mean that its a lie. A teardrop holds a dream - the cause of the cry. A miniature picture scene shows the reason why.
