A Man
I met a man
He used to live on the west side
But a change of plans
Brought him on the south side of pain
If you could feel his hands
Just as callused as his heart
Muscles on his back
Trauma carried this far in the rain
And everyday he's been working
And everyday he's been grinding down his teeth
And everyday he feels worthless
He plays the same 6 songs on repeat
Just to get through the pain of
Every friend being too far to help heal
So this time he's gon' get tough
Break his body and his mind and he'll kill
Every part of the man he hates when takes a quick look in the mirror
And he'll hate the taste on his tongue
And he'll fake the smile when he gets nearer
'Cuz it's clear that he can't trust himself, so why would they?
He can't hear when he isolates in hell—yells at himself everyday
He's been running from something
And the rumbling in his stomach reminds him of the weight he carried
One look in his eyes and you see the weary soul that's bearing
The load of all the sins he buried
But can't leave in the past
His knees are bloody from all the praying
And all the turning back
I met a man
He used to live on the west side
But a change of plans
Brought him on the south side of pain
If you could feel his hands
Just as callused as his heart
Muscles on his back
Trauma carried this far in the rain
And everyday he's been working
And everyday he's been grinding down his teeth
And everyday he feels worthless
He plays the same 6 songs on repeat
Just to get through the pain of
Every friend being too far to help heal
So this time he's gon' get tough
Break his body and his mind and he'll kill
All the hope that's around him
'Til it's drowning
In the dark of the sea
And it can't breathe
Do it all for the silence
So his mind can have the peace
At last it needs
No one cares until everybody does
And he wondered if he was enough
His eyes are red from crying so much blood
Now his heart is welded shut
And everyday he's been working
And everyday he's been grinding down his teeth
And everyday he feels worthless
He plays the same 6 songs on repeat
Just to get through the pain of
Every friend being too far to help heal
So this time he's gon' get tough
Break his body and his mind and he'll kill
He used to live on the west side
But a change of plans
Brought him on the south side of pain
If you could feel his hands
Just as callused as his heart
Muscles on his back
Trauma carried this far in the rain
And everyday he's been working
And everyday he's been grinding down his teeth
And everyday he feels worthless
He plays the same 6 songs on repeat
Just to get through the pain of
Every friend being too far to help heal
So this time he's gon' get tough
Break his body and his mind and he'll kill
Every part of the man he hates when takes a quick look in the mirror
And he'll hate the taste on his tongue
And he'll fake the smile when he gets nearer
'Cuz it's clear that he can't trust himself, so why would they?
He can't hear when he isolates in hell—yells at himself everyday

And the rumbling in his stomach reminds him of the weight he carried

Every friend being too far to help heal
So this time he's gon' get tough
Break his body and his mind and he'll kill
