Elizabeth Sheaffer - Crystal Translucence (Oceans of Pain) lyrics

Trickling down one flaccid cheek A lone, rogue tear escapes The pain is nearly unbearable But to them it's just a crystal droplet on the pillowcase Dripping down to a hardwood floor Marring the wood's gleam with its translucence Your misery so desperately acute But to them its just a crystal droplet on the ground Sliding across your smooth skin It traces its path in the stillness A silent reminder of all your despair But to them it's just a crystal droplet on your cheek Coursing down your cheeks in small rivers These tears could fill oceans with their stories Your pain has been nearly unbearable But to them they're just more crystal droplets filling the sea of Time Slipping down your arm in a small rivulet Marking the release of your pain The razor has always commiserated with you But to them it's just a ruby droplet staining the carpet Churning forth in sickly sweet gushes A crimson flow traces the path of existence Self-injury has been your only solace over the years But to them it's just a ruby ocean o'erspilling the sink basin.
