Inishmore - I Can't Cry lyrics

rate me

Emptiness and blackness are filling my head, <br />

Why should I live? I would rather be dead! <br />

The heavens are raining down on me, <br />

Black forever is all I want to be.<br />

Somewhere my mind got lost, <br />

Now I pay the cost.<br />

My mind lies smashed and in agony, <br />

All I want is my soul in ebony.<br />

I don't need hope, I don't need recreation! <br />

For I opened my heart and to my consternation, <br />

It was small empty and dark<br />

No light and no spark<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

And I can't even cry, <br />

Though the tears are in my eyes.<br />

And I can't even feel, <br />

For my wounds will never heal.<br />

I lay awake at night, <br />

Torn to pieces from my fight, <br />

My inner rage that won't let go.<br />

<br />

No colours fill my life, <br />

No light can cut me like a knife, <br />

For black's the only colour I would paint my soul! <br />

And I can't even cry, <br />

Though the tears are in my eyes.<br />

And I can't even feel, <br />

For my wound will never heal.<br />

And I can't even trust, <br />

For my hopes crumbled to dust.<br />

And I will never Love again, <br />

All I want and need is pain!
