lyrics

Model of a man
Now where do I stand
In the bends or in the tide
Imposed or right beside
Imprisoned in my walk
In my speech and how I talk
Instilled in my strum
In the rhythm of my run
So I try to break free by standing stark still
Try to break free through shear force of will
I can't cut this umbillical feed that's giving me something I do and do not need
No man, no man, no man, is able, is ready to stay just where they stand
No man, no man, no man, is able, is ready to stay just where they stand
I woke up and my father was awake
Come closer
Come closer
Before the dawn breaks
I held his hand into a pitch black sky
And I waited and waited for the dawn to pass me by
To pass me by
