The Man In Me
EThere's a man in me, he's cold and he's hard
He's got an eye for deception, he's always on guard
He's Dswimming in concrete, Adrowning in fear
And he Ekeeps it all locked in his heart
EThis man is a tyrant, a fault finding hack
You can't tell him nothing, there's no turning back
He leaves Dblood on the highway and Ascattered debris
He crawls Efrom the wreckage but he still doesn't see
He's Dalive, Athe man is Ejive
There's a man in the mirror, I don't like his looks
His teeth they are crooked, his hands are like hooks
He speaks four letter language because his mind is so small
His voice is like venom, I don't like him at all
God, I gotta get away from the man in me
She says Awhat are you afraid of there's Gno need to judge
You Bknow I can help you but you Ewon't even budge
Pretty Aflowers surround you but Gall you can smell is a Erat
She says Why do you insist on your head in the sand
Building walls all around you, you don't understand
These ways are outmoded but all you can change is your hat
TheD man in me don't Awanna know nothing about Ethat
There's a man in the closet, he wants to come out
He wants to be noticed but he's so filled with doubt
He wants to be well known and famous but he's so filled with pride
The keys to his fortune stay locked up inside
Can it be the man in me?
She says Now what are you afraid of, There's nothing to fear
You want me to help but you won't let me near
In your heart you can hear me but all you believe are your eyes
Tell me why you're convinced that a fist in your face
Is all you deserve from love you've misplaced
The truth is salvation but all you believe in are lies
The man in me wants to believe, but he won't even try
There's man in me and he's so full of hate
He's so misdirected, he thinks it's too late
Pours salt on the wounds only time wants to heal
He's dying inside and he don't wanna feel
Anything, the man is strange
