Dripping Down My Heart

In my soul is an open plain dry and parched like an empty lakebed
Howling wind through the barren range I'll never let them hear it again
Come the tears like a flooding rain find a course down the great escarpment
From without it would seem so strange it's the weather I'm keeping within

Ah ah ah... ah ah ah... ah ah ah

On my legs there are great long scars, my arms are bruised and battered
Just a product of where we are and the trials and troubles we bear
It's mirrored inside my heart, but I still can't help but hide here
Under guard behind this mask the illusion they're never aware

Now I feel it dripping down my heart again
All the blood and sweat and the tears of sadness
From the pain living through this madness
I feel it dripping down my heart again
Inside there's an open wound hidden like the other side of the moon

Broken heart here is cracked and torn, wonder how it keeps on beating
Losing blood like it's all been gored it won't clot to repair
All my strength shoring up this wall it's a dam inside that's failing
I'll struggle on ever more with a heavy burden to share

'Cause I feel it dripping down my heart again
All the blood and sweat and the tears of sadness
From the pain living through this madness
I feel it dripping down my heart again
Inside there's an open wound hidden like the other side of the moon

And the Doctor said all these pores will close in time
When I find that part of a mutual heart I have to hold the line
The one will know of streams that flow, that I keep out of sight
Until I feel that heal-ing I'll always keep on beating

Now I feel it ripping out my heart again
All the blood and sweat and the tears of sadness
From the pain living through this madness
I feel it dripping down my heart again
Inside there's an open wound hidden like the other side of the moon
Inside there's an open wound hidden like the other side of the moon
