like a man

you're gonna stand in front of me

looking me in the eyes, so that i can see

as i tell you you matter as much as the dirt under your shoes

you're gonna take the beating you're told you deserve

for being brave enough to take your own path

as i tell you you're a loser freak - and this is your aftermath

you're gonna look me in the eyes

as your inner demons torment you along

and if you dare utter a tear, you'll have a nice whipping for your goodnight song

you're gonna face yourself in the mirror

with a week old stubble, as you accept the truth

coming from your bleeding lips, ugly, dirty, uncouth

"you're an object to be used

hard and cold, devoid of feelings

worthy as much as your power

better take it, fucking ninny"

i'm gonna be there for you to show me

that you can take it all

and more, more, more, more, more

ENDLESS

like a man

a man never breaks

a man never cries

a man never bends

a man never falls

a man never feels

a man never fears

a man never runs

except to let it out


except to take revenge

to use as a dummy

to take all the pain

from all the tyrants that did the same


(we'll make you a machine

dissociated from yourself

wanting to prove your worth

grinding to stifle the feelings of LOST

lost humanity

lost self

lost joy

lost strength

given all that up for a promise of status

still judged. never safe. fulfilment on hiatus.

stuck in survival mode. working, stressed, hostile

turned dull while trying to become immortal

lost it all lost it all became a shell)


No.

i'll stand up, reach out, grip you by the hair

punch you in the face, "YOU take it like a man"

if you want to teach men how to destroy themselves

be a good example. show them how to be a shell

of a human

dead before you die

afraid to be alive

afraid to feel afraid

viscous circles never end
