What do you cry for
Posing a question about the reasons for crying.
If not the way

All our fates were sown

So long ago
Emphasizing the antiquity of the predetermined fate.
Before we were formed

Born to control
Suggesting that individuals are born with an inherent inclination for control.
What do you cry over
Repeating the question about the cause of crying.
If not these things
Asking about the specific things that evoke emotions.
Tell me all of your thoughts
Encouraging an open expression of thoughts and feelings.
What ties your stomach into knots
Asking about the factors that create tension or anxiety.
What are tears for
Questioning the purpose of shedding tears.
If not the way
Emphasizing the way things are changing or evolving.
We're trying to turn
Describing a collective effort to alter the course of events.
With all our screws
Referring to the collective efforts as screws being tightened.
So tightened
Expressing that these efforts are intensified by unseen forces.
By unseen hands
Alluding to influences that were willingly invited into their lives.
We invited in
Pointing to the lies that were accepted and believed.
And lies we believed
Empty line, possibly for a pause or emphasis.
What do you cry over
Reiterating the inquiry about specific emotional triggers.
If not these things
Empty line, possibly for a pause or emphasis.
A wise man fears

Losing what they love

It all becomes clear

When the lights come up

What do you cry over

If not these things?
