Crying Is Only Manly If Splinters Come Out

(album: POW! Right In The Kisser! - 2010)

Now I know why
I can't be alone...why?
Who needs a phone
When you don't need to speak to anyone
Mark my words here now
You know I won't mark yours...how?
Is this echo fading?
Or are we tuning it out?

I understand that they have plans for those that think they've thought it through
Let's pretend to make amends with fake expressions like we knew
I thought I knew

If you would (just shut) your mouth
Every now and again
I guarantee your eyes would open wide
If I could (block out) these sounds
For just fifteen minutes
Maybe then I'd get some feeling back between my ears

Why don't I go outside and get myself some air?
You're not safe here
I'll be fine I'm just feeling trapped and crammed in there
Now is never ending

Never ending

I...I'll be...I'll be fine I'll be fine I'll be final
There is no way out of here
You are bound to live in fear
Never finding home
The beast is yet to come

I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine

If you would (just shut) your mouth
Every now and again
I guarantee your eyes would open wide
If I could (block out) these sounds
For just fifteen minutes
Maybe then I'd get some feeling back

There's a black hole in my gut
Shaping everything I feel
And a sickness in my mind
Twisting what I think is real

There's no one to blame but me
I'm the way I'd hate to be

I'm the way I'd hate to be
I'm the way I'd hate to be
I'm the way I'd hate to be
I'm the way I'd hate to be

I'm the way I'd hate to be
I'm the way I'd hate to be
I'm the way I'd hate to be
I'm the way I'd hate to be
[to fade]
