Damaged Man

Damaged Man

I’ve become a good actor I’ll make you believe

I’m well versed in fiction and how to deceive

But no one would know it most of the time anyway

With all of my friends I’ve come to expect

We’ll talk for a while but never connect

I want to reach out but I never know what I should say

Oh no, when it creeps in

Well it starts slow and the voices begin

You won’t understand me I’ve done some bad things

I’ve cared for a sparrow and broke both her wings

And now she can’t fly back to where she belongs

Well I ain’t no devil but I am not a saint

The tethers have torn and I have no restraints

My mind gets so cloudy I don’t know what’s right or what’s wrong

Oh no, when it creeps in

Well it starts slow and the voices begin

And they scream so loud I’m a damaged man

I’m just trying to fit in the best that I can

If I could just explain, maybe I’d convert you

But the quiet I cannot sustain, and I’m afraid I’ll hurt you

Some say it’s scary while others may scoff

They say I’m a time bomb about to go off

But I’m being honest I’m even more scared than you...

Oh no, when it creeps in

Well it starts slow and the voices begin

And they scream so loud I’m a damaged man

I’m just trying to fit in the best that I can
