Imitation
Crudely defined, I'm just a poser lost
Impersonations of what a man should be
And, oh, of how a man should feel
I've tried for seemingly now my entire life to play a part
All posture aside, I pray for all those versions of myself
I've tried to be, for though they may seem obvious to you
I know that you could see through them all
But they were always real to me
You go ahead, I'll be right behind
I just need something to calm down my mind
Sometimes I wish you could hear all the thoughts that I cannot sing
That I could show you the wounds before they just start growing
That we could walk into the dark, unafraid with our lanterns glowing
And see it for all that it is
Tear it apart, this man I am needs medicine
To wade through the dark, for this mannequin, this mess I'm in
This folding inside, stuck in a stoic silence of a
Stubborn yet brittle mind
You go ahead, I'll be right behind
I just need something to calm down my mind
Sometimes I wish you could hear all the thoughts that I cannot sing
That I could show you the wounds before they just start growing
That we could walk into the dark, unafraid with our lanterns glowing
And see it for all that it is
Impersonations of what a man should be
And, oh, of how a man should feel
I've tried for seemingly now my entire life to play a part
All posture aside, I pray for all those versions of myself
I've tried to be, for though they may seem obvious to you
I know that you could see through them all
But they were always real to me
You go ahead, I'll be right behind
I just need something to calm down my mind
Sometimes I wish you could hear all the thoughts that I cannot sing
That I could show you the wounds before they just start growing
That we could walk into the dark, unafraid with our lanterns glowing
And see it for all that it is
Tear it apart, this man I am needs medicine
To wade through the dark, for this mannequin, this mess I'm in
This folding inside, stuck in a stoic silence of a
Stubborn yet brittle mind
You go ahead, I'll be right behind
I just need something to calm down my mind
Sometimes I wish you could hear all the thoughts that I cannot sing
That I could show you the wounds before they just start growing
That we could walk into the dark, unafraid with our lanterns glowing
And see it for all that it is
