Spleen Arcana

Tears Are Made To Flow

She is sitting on the sidewalk
A tear’s rolling on her cheek
She feels the taste of senseless talks
And the days turn into weeks

She’s so alone but she’s so brave
This life is not what she deserves

She can’t understand this war
She is too young to realise
Sunny days are not so far
But surrender fills her eyes

She’s so alone but she’s so brave
This life is not what she deserves
She’s so alone but she is so brave
She needs someone to be saved

“For Peace all give some but some give all”
It’s true, in silence you must fall
But one day, you will stand up and shout
“I’m free !”

In loving memory of her dad
She swore to be strong
But violence drives her mad
She has no one to belong
The sweetness of her mother’s skin
The innocence of her face
She’s a sad flower at sixteen
In this unfriendly dry place

She’s so alone but she’s so brave
This life is not what she deserves
She’s so alone but she is so brave
She needs someone to be saved

“For Peace all give some but some give all”
It’s true, in silence you must fall
But one day, you will stand up and shout
“I’m free !”

This is a picture of who she might be
A star in the sky, wild and free
She’s lost the faith she has before
But never, no never, she will be a whore
She’s so alone, but she is so brave
She needs someone to be saved
She will find someone in you
