What Kind Of Man Am I

My words don't know the truth

They flutter as I speak

The sickness I feel under my belt

Is the disdain I have for me

I've asked you to stand tall

But it's me who's fallen down

A better man I'd like to be

But I can't find my way home now

So what kind of man am I?

Who never looked up to see the sky

And every word I say

Has come back to haunt me every day

So here I stand alone

Crippled on my cane

The coward I've become

The loser in the game

These eyes you see are masked

By a thin veneer of tears

And who would have known that such a small task

Would have compromised all these years

'Cause a liar's guilt is a liar's fate

And man, that's just the facts

For those too weak to tell the truth

Into darkness you'll be cast

So what kind of man am I?

Who never looked up to see the sky

And every word I say

Has come back to haunt me every day

And here I stand alone

Crippled on my cane

The coward I've become

The loser in the game

So dig deep, you little bastard

Let the truth be known

Angels are flying with you tonight

You'd better not let them go

'Cause if you do I'd hate to think

Of what your fate could be

Speak your mind, tell what you know

And set your soul free

So what kind of man am I?

Who never looked up to see the sky

And every word I say

Has come back to haunt me everyday

(Speak your heart)

So here I stand alone

Crippled on my cane

The coward I've become

(Set us free)

The loser in the game
