Perception Malfunktion

I miss the tears that used to flow
The sadness and hatred that used to grow
On the river banks of my cheeks
No-one treads, no-one speaks

My soul is empty and my hearts grown cold
I guess the sadness has now aged old
There's far worse things we were never told

Or just too young, couldn't care less
But the funny thing is now less is a mess

This horrible feeling wanting to cry
Am I weak for not wanting to die
I swear I never intended to try

Hatred dried up all the tears
Hatred changed what goes into my ears
Perception malfunction is all you see
Well then I guess you'll never know me
