God's Left Hand

A New Way To Cry
When Christopher slinks home at night He cuts himself by candlelight Once for sorrow, twice for pity So much temptation in this city With each slice, red tears escape from the cuts the razor makes One for love and two for pain The Lamb of God washed down the drain And how do you exorcise your demons? Do you watch them flow from your body with each cut? With each tear, you repair what others have left to die No more tears ‘cause now you've found a new way to cry Amanda's draped across the bar She smiles nicotine and tar Mascara married to her tears Her face much older than her years She finds a new love every night It's one that fades with each dawn's light Life is pain and love can sting and promises don't mean a thing And how does it feel to wake up every morning? The mask so tight it draws the breath from your life Never naked or ugly again, you feel fine No more tears cause now you've found a new way to cry From Letras Mania
