Tears Tumble - One-2, Amin, Tena Jones

Pacing in my room walking back and forth

As I’m gazing at the moon during night with bright

Constellations as they loom through the haze

Isolated I consume medication to alleviate my wounds

But I’m only getting worse frozen like photographs

Ain’t a drug in the world that can restore my broken path

Flags that have masks visions of my mother shedding tears

As my casket gets lowered in to the grass

Heavy hearted cause close friends departed

Saw their lives abruptly end before they even barely started

Choking on the truth, in my attempt to swallow

Tried to drink away the pain feeling hollow when I’m done

I’ve become the empty bottle, men don’t cry

And I tried to hold in, but my walls are closing in

As the clouds turn gray above the mountain peaks

The rain falls, teardrops tumble down my cheek

I just can’t stop these tears from falling from my eyes

It’s like the rigid wall keep protectin' my mind with me

Tears tumble

I can’t fake it and I hate it

Tears tumble

I’m praying, I’m gone make it

Ayo, It’s really like a maze dog

If you get stuck in a phase and wanna take all

A piece of reality had to break off

Leaving my box and cut the chains off

See man I drop all of this pain dog

Heart’s mechanical, I rev up the chain saw

Life’s a risk I give and take all

Corner of the pocket gets struck by the 8 ball

And I’m talking bills not Billiard

I tried to sit still quiet tried to think to God

But my mind is like a riot in a prison yard

Three-floor complex with the prison guard

3,4,5 sets pushing off the floor

People tell me the end is the light

It’s dim but I might get in cause I’m bright

I live through the fight, and work through the pain

Build with the struggle til it turns into knowledge in my brain

I just can’t stop these tears from falling from my eyes

It’s like the rigid wall keep protectin' my mind With me

Tears tumble

I can’t fake it and I hate it

Tears tumble

I’m praying, I’m gone make it

Through the pain I’ve endured, feelings dazed and detoured

I tried to remain grounded getting faded off herb

Mind clouded wishin' I could fly away like a bird

I can’t sleep I’m the black sheep who’s straight from the herd

Disturbed nightmares feelin' cold I break sweat

Soakin' walking tight rope without a safety net

I’m copin' with regrets hands covered in dirt

Wishin' I could mend the hearts of loved ones that I hurt

But I ain’t asking for forgiveness just pray that you understand

I’m basically just a man, one day I’ll be that person you’re able to trust again

Cause lord knows how lonely my world’s become since the day that your doors

closed

Dear ???, I can’t even express how much I miss ya wishin I was up there wit ya

Man I start choking up every time I hug your sister

So I shed a tear for you as I provide a little liquor

I just can’t stop these tears from falling from my eyes

It’s like the rigid wall keep protectin' my mind With me

Tears tumble

I can’t fake it and I hate it

Tears tumble

I’m praying, I’m gone make it
