American Aquarium - Crier Lyrics

The first thing we do when we're born
So quickly from our weary Mother's arms we are torn
Trying to make sense of a world overwhelming
The pressure in ours ears makes a whisper sounds like yelling
The first thing we do when we're born

The first thing that we do when we fall
Is learn eventually that gravity will get us all
The skin off your knees feels like hell for just a minute
Til Daddy comes bellowing just rub some dirt in it
The first thing that we do when we fall

The sermon of your tears are merely preaching to the choir
Life is pals with pain it's okay to be a crier

The first thing we do when our hearts break
Is realize there's only so much hurt one heart can take
Rejection rears it's ugly face
How the hell did all this happen?
Tried to dam the river but the damn thing kept collapsing
The first thing thing we do when our hearts break

The sermon of your tears are merely preaching to the choir
Life is pals with pain it's okay to be a crier
If you say you never have then hell, you would be a liar
If you are here then you've been hurt
You deserve to be a crier

Dealing with our feeling's is essential to survival
Hell, it's right there in the shortest verse in The Bible"
