A powerful metal track that explores the themes of regret and deception, 'Crocodile Tears' captures the struggle of forgiving someone only to realize the emotional toll it takes. This intense song delves into the conflict between wanting to save face and the truths we often hide from ourselves.
Struck by fear in all its force,
It puppeteers my vocal chords.
I wear a mask, it feels so real,
But deep inside, I start to heal.
Staring at the broken ground,
I see reflections of my doubts.
Crocodile tears and feigned remorse,
I thought forgiveness was the cure.
Chorus:
I’m lying when I say I’m fine,
Just saving face, it’s all a line.
Stupid for falling for your game,
Now I’m left with only shame.
Caught in your web, a fragile thread,
Words that flow while doubts are fed.
You painted pictures, I bought them whole,
Only to find they stained my soul.
Chorus:
I’m lying when I say I’m fine,
Just saving face, it’s all a line.
Stupid for falling for your game,
Now I’m left with only shame.
Bridge:
Regret harvests my heart,
Playing back the part,
How could I ignore the signs,
When the truth was always mine?
Whispers haunt me, echoes scream,
Drowning in this shattered dream.
Now I see the price I pay,
For the lies I let you say.
Final Chorus:
I’m lying when I say I’m fine,
Just saving face, it’s all a line.
Stupid for falling for your game,
Now I’m left with only shame.
Struck by fear, the tears will flow,
But this time, I'm letting go.
Crocodile tears, they fade away,
I’m done with this masquerade.

A song about regretting forgiving someone, saving face in the moment and then realising you're lying by saying everything's ok, feeling stupid for falling for their crocodile tears. Some lyrics I already wrote: "Struck by fear in all its force, It puppeteers my vocal chords"
