It's not necessary to curse the cross I carry
When you bury me in a blanket of your tears
That's not compromising, you're busy disguising
All the guts you spill with a bucket of your tears
It's not Chinese braille, it's not Chinese braille
It's not Chinese braille but you still can't understand
It's not trying to stay out, it's not trying to stay in
I'm not trying to do what you tell me not to
No I haven't drowned yet but I'm soaking wet
And getting wetter wading in the thick of all your tears
Draw the curtains tightly, burn our burdens brightly
We can celebrate now that you've turned off your tears
It's not Chinese braille, it's not Chinese braille
It's not Chinese braille but you still don't understand
It's not trying to stay out, it's not trying to stay in
I'm not trying to do what you tell me not to do
It's not overrated but it's lost some of its appeal
For me this time around
When you want there's some room in the meadow
Where it's dry you can cry so the gra** grows
In a while I can hide and you can't find me
