Manliness

(アルバム： The Lives Of Others - 2021)

Two roads diverged into a wood
I took neither, here I stood
Clenching my jaw, I made a
Fist out of my hand

You can sure waste a lotta time
Tryna be a man

I hugged a tree, I shed a tear (I hugged a tree, I shed a tear)
But I did it all while no one was here (no one was here)
Except my shadow who was
Making other plans

You can sure waste a lot of space
Tryna be a man

Verbs and nouns and adjectives
Extracted as if through a sieve
Leaving out the flowery bits
The rind, the pulp, yeah, and the pips
Reduce it all down to the juice
Tryna be a man

I scored a goal but I missed the point (I scored a goal but I missed the point)
Mt statement made then I left joint (I left joint)
Opinions are like arseholes, kept it clean then I ran

You can suck the air out of a room
Tryna be a man

Opinions disguised as facts
And can I take the lost one back?
Leaning so far t hat you fall
Oh, the thrill of it all

One step forward, one step back
Tryna be a man

Two roads diverged into a wood
I took neither, here I stood
Grains of sand as they fall in
Through my hand

Oh, just watching the time go by
Tryna be human
Tryna be human
Tryna be human

Tryna be human
Tryna be human
Tryna be human, man
