Illusion of the Epitome of Strength
When your troubles become tears
And you can’t figure why
No matter how much you try
Be brave
When the world is out to get you
The slightest mistake upsets you
In your world, nothing is true
Don’t cry
When death once again tells you
That reality is truth
You’re oblivious, no clue what to do
Be brave
When you’ve lost a friend
Someone so dear
In your mind, you’re sad and blue
Don’t cry
When your heart has been broken
The one you loved was just a token
To the final demolition of an already fragile heart
Don’t cry
When it hurts so bad
Mental and physical pain
Duel for the premiere emotion
Be brave, please don’t cry
When the pain of the heart
The pain of the hand
Become the pain of the man
Be brave, don’t cry
Though you’re where you don’t want to be
You can’t ever get free
Don’t cry when it hurts to breathe
Hurts to be
When the world is filled with trouble
When the silent verses tumble
When a single strand
Breaks the power of a diamond wand
Be brave and cry
