Tears That Fall From Mountain Tops



April 25th, 2008

If truth is a mountain I am
Dangling from the summit
From the ledge of Don't Look Back
Pass and preparing to plummet

When there are no ears near no one hears
No one even knows you grieve no matter
How long you cry tears that fall from
Mountain tops are hard to believe
