I Am The Man

(album: 7 Inches Of Hell - 2021)

I turn out the lights, I lock the door
I leave the bodies on the floor
Down in the heights where I will soar
I asked the gods to bring me more
Out in the rain, I'm walking home
I collect the dolls, I think alone
I come inside so you could see
Not worth your time, don't look at me
I'm not in your box, I don't play your game
It's safe for you, you're all the same
I don't exist, but I'm in your way
I don't have time for your disdain

I can't compete
In a world of better men
I've been having dreams
With the Devil in my den

I am the Man who cleans the stains
I mop the floors and unclog the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
You tear me down every chance you can
I am the Man who makes the stains
I tarnish the floors and fill up the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
It ain't much but it's what I am

I stay up late into the dark
I devour life just like the shark
I don't have time to compromise
Will you get caught up in my lies?
And if we must go head to head
Know in the end I'll see you dead
The spirits brought you to my door
And they can always bring me more

I just can't win
Against a side, one step ahead
You took my pawn
En passant, now I see red

I am the Man who cleans the stains
I mop the floors then unclog the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
You tear me down every chance you can
I am the Man who makes the stains
I tarnish the floors and fill up the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
It ain't much but it's what I am

I'm not too smart, I'm not too bright
It takes me time to get it right
And though I'm not the better man
I'll follow through with my own plan
I am the blemish on your face
The memory you can't erase
And I am doing this for me

I am the Man who cleans the stains
I mop the floors and unclog the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
You tear me down every chance you can
I am the Man who makes the stains
I tarnish the floors, fill up the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
It ain't much but it's what I am
I am the Man who cleans the stains
I mop the floors, unclog the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
You tear me down every chance you can
I am the Man who makes the stains
I tarnish the floors and fill up the drains
You'll understand, I am the Man
It ain't much but it's what I am
