The Man Inside

(album: Shooting At The Sun - 2003)

You don't know what it's like
To speak from the heart, do you baby?
You don't think I can see
You're falling apart, right in front of me

'Cause I'm not that young my friend
So I've heard it all before

Does your face hurt from smiling too much?
Did someone kick your self-esteem into touch?
'Cause your booming voice is only a crutch
To hide the man inside

I've sat thru your jokes
A million times, but I'm still not laughing
Just the sound of your voice turns people to stone
I've seen it happen

When day turns to night my friend
You're still going on and on

Are you lonely in a crowded room?
Do you know what they're all saying 'bout you?
You spent your whole life running away from the truth
And if you ever left a space
I'd tell you to your face

'Cause if the Reaper comes knocking at your door tonight, tonight
When you start talking
You bet your life he'd run away in fright
Run and hide

Does your face hurt from smiling too much?
Did someone kick your self-esteem into touch?
'Cause your booming voice is only a crutch
To hide the man inside
Are you lonely in a crowded room?
Do you know what they're all saying 'bout you?
You spent your whole life running away from the truth
To hide the man inside
To hide the man inside
To hide the man inside
