Flood of Tears

Mother see, that all my life
 I planted flowers to survive
 And as they faded I stopped to speak
 I painted flowers
 and nobody knows why...
 No awakening, no lullaby
 I only felt the need to try
 To have the guts or the stupidity
 To grab for stars, that I can't reach at all
 Father see, that I have tried
 To find that angel deep inside
 That you once promised I would meet
 And once again I ended in defeat
 Even here I could feel your eyes
 Heard your whispers and felt your lies
 Brother said "Come back to life"
 I asked some friends
 and nobody knew why ...
 Nobody had ever seen
 my flood of tears
 I can't believe you found me here
 It took some time to find these words
 I wrote them down in hope that they might help
 Watch me walk barefoot on glass
 Insecure as only a newborn child can be
 Others came to laugh at me
 They pointed fingers as I could see
 Believe me saying it's not the skin
 It's the stranger living deep inside
 Mother see, that all my life
 I painted flowers to survive
 And as they faded I stopped to paint
 I fell asleep
 and nobody knows why...
 Father see, that I have tried
 To build a world with only me inside
 Millions of flowers surround my bed
 Now I still grab for stars and I can reach them all
