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
Pressure in ours ears makes a whisper sound like yelling
First thing we do when we're born

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

Thе sermon of your tears are mеrely preaching to the choir
Life is pals with pain and it's OK to be a crier
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 its ugly face
How the hell did this happen?
Tried to dam the river but the damn thing kept collapsing
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 and it's OK 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
And you deserve to be a crier
To be a crier

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

Be a crier
Be a crier
Be a crier
Be a crier
