The Tears A Man Cries... (Song Lyrics)

The Tears A Man Cries... (Song Lyrics)

A Poem by Michael Fernandez

The tears a man cries…
Brings remembrance to its knees…

The tears a man cries…
Leaves corpses whispering…

The tears a man cries…

As pen and paper fuse together -
I remember the pain spent trying to protect her,
Down to every damn cent - Every damn letter - Should’ve known,
I should’ve known better, as it tore at me, cut at me,
Blood I’ve bled - Blood I’ll bleed, was it all worth the need?
For her protection against herself - Against myself,
Drove me insane; ripped the tether from my brain,
Had me smoking crystals - holding pistols - and what for?
What for? I asked that every day, the impact it’s made,
Rushed me towards my own grave; for another w***e who couldn’t be saved?
Doesn’t seem right, I should’ve fought, should’ve put up a fight,
Now I’m fighting my own thoughts - My own mind,
The pain it’s caused - Forced down another line,
Save the date - Save the time,
Eleven, Twenty-Nine, Eleven;
Seconds from Hell, Hours from Heaven,
The tears a man cries…

The tears a man cries,
Lost everything, but still stuck with lies,
No longer a king, not in her eyes.

The tears a man cries…

Seven, Forty-Nine seconds; all beautiful and pearlescent,
Divine Rites, given to man; Last light, few could easily understand,
Pistol in hand - Six bullets fully loaded,
But only one needed, yet, still can’t control it,
I’m sick of this s**t - C**k back - Ready and done,
BOOM! Click and thump - Cold bodies dumped,
Corpses rock in the water, so many dead - Why bother?
Forget the sign of the times - The wealth made through crime,
Pace back - Over your own coffin - High off ganja,
Still coughin’, Pray to God they finally attack,
To give a reason for a fight, drink the blood of the night,
White eyes, seven sins, Jealousy and lies, Corruption -
Uneasy seduction - Ready to die, Fiending off psychedelic heroin -
Nervous breakdown - The tears a man cries,
Down to Earth, Yet, underneath the ground -
Above the clouds…The tears a man cries….

The tears a man cries,
Lost everything, but still stuck with lies,
No longer a king, not in her eyes.

The tears a man cries…
