"In Every Tear"

In Every Tear there stands a scorn
committed to loves past and rivers wasted
Skies gloom and focus on a generation of madness
and darkness covers the hue
that could have saved us

The petals of contentment
whiten in place
deceiving the masses
and even their own minds

As noon breaks -all is well
the commitment of the silver lining
maintains
that contentment is just a state of mind

So we weave back into our cubicles
and perceive
the muted consequences
