The Lost Art of Crying

Save me from all my failings
 I'm only human
 And made of clay
 I know,
 I distance myself
 From unnamed emotion
 To keep the ancient fears at bay...
 Listen when I say to you
 I think my heart is breaking through
 Let your fingers touch my pain
 So I can find the tears again
 And the art of crying
 The lost art of crying...
 Reach for me in my indifference
 It's hurt I'm hiding from
 I just can't feel
 And I am
 Overcome and vulnerable in silence
 All expression unrevealed...
 Listen when I say to you
 I think my heart is breaking through
 Let your fingers touch my pain
 So I can find the tears again
 And the art of crying
 The lost art of crying...
 I want to feel the wetness on my face
 And feel the sobbing starting
 And the art of crying
 The lost art of crying...
 Listen when I say to you
 I think my heart is breaking through
 Let your fingers touch my pain
 So I can find the tears again
 And the art of crying
 The lost art of crying...
