No Tears Left To Cry

(album: Bad Radio - 2022)

I shed a tear for a friend
I'll never get to see again
And I drove the 20 minutes to the ocean
Started laughing at the magic
That comes along with something tragic
Man I'll see you again once I get where I'm going

Shared smoke with a crowd
Went up the coast I'm northern bound
Then I rode all the horses down in Austin
Seems I'm walking to my coffin
Kiss the girls to keep from talking
Bought a gun and I'm not sure what I'm hunting

So I asked for words of wisdom from my grandma
With dementia
She got halfway through and said "I can't remember"
Sip of whiskey by the fire
Let the tall trees be my choir
Where its quiet enough to hear my hearts desires

Nothing hurts anymore
And my eyes are dry
If it works let it pour
No tears left to cry
No tears left to cry

Then a woman of 6 years reappeared and kept me comfort
And I held on like a baby to its mother
And her love was so complete I felt my secrets at the surface
I said thank you but I really don't deserve this

It was enough just for that moment
It'll vanish when you hold it
Played the college but I'm dying with the poets
Now its deep breaths from my stomach
It complies with reluctance
Just in time to catch the tail end of summer

Nothing hurts anymore
And my eyes are dry
If it works let it pour
No tears left to cry
No tears left to cry

And all this science that I don't understand
I'm asking how are you so sure that I'll see you again
We don't know where our home is but I can't pretend
I miss my friend I wish that I had some tears left

But my eyes are dry
No tears left to cry
No tears left to cry
No tears left to cry
Oh my, oh my
