It's not necessary, To curse the cross I carry when you bury me in a blanket of your tears That's not compromising You're busy disguising all the guts you spill with a bucket of your tears It's not Chinese braille It's not Chinese braille It's not Chinese braille but you still can't understand It's not trying to stay out It's not trying to stay in I'm not trying to do what you tell me not to. No I haven't drowned yet But I'm soaking wet and getting wetter wading in the thick of all your tears Draw the curtains tightly Burn our burdens brightly we can celebrate now that you've turned off your tears It's not Chinese braille It's not Chinese braille It's not Chinese braille but you still don't understand It's not trying to stay out It's not trying to stay in I'm not trying to do what you tell me not to do. It's not overrated, But it's lost some of its appeal for me this time around When you want there's some room in the meadow Where it's dry you can cry so the grass grows In a while I can hide and you can't find me
