Tears Of A Shark

Swimming in a sea of emotions 
Without a practice in the pool
Shedding tears on the inside  
The tears of a fool

Standing by a headstone
Wishing addiction hadn’t took your Mom
All the while blaming yourself 
The tears of a Son

Wishing you could have made a difference 
Looking to the heavens asking why
Tears of unimaginable pain
Tears that never dry

Look how well he's coping 
"He's so strong" people would remark
I couldn't cry at the funeral 
Cursed with the tears of a shark

Family members you thought you could trust 
Full of empty promises and smiles 
They think they are so perfect 
The tears of a crocodiles

To be ruthless and unscrupulous 
Laughter at the wake
Except when I was watching 
The tears of a snake

To move on with life you have to smile
Even when you're feeling down
Hiding true emotions behind a happy face 
The tears of a clown 

In order to survive in this world 
When you feel you just can't cope
Let the sunshine in to warm your face
Feel the light of hope

Grief hits you in waves
When it does the feeling's quite profound 
Tears are meant to be shed
Not locked in your head
Let them flow or you may drown
