My words don’t know the truth
They flutter as I speak
The sickness I feel under my belt
Is the disdain I have for me
And I ask you to stand tall
But it’s me who’s fallen down
I’d like to be a better man
But I can’t find my way home now
So what kind of man am I
Who never looked up to see the sky
And every word I say
Has come back to haunt me every day
So here I stand alone
Crippled on my cane
The coward I’ve become
The loser in the game
These eyes you see are masked
By a thin veneer of tears
And who would have known that such a small task
Would have compromised all these years
But a liar’s guilt is a liar’s fate
And man, that’s just the facts
For those too weak to tell the truth
Into darkness you will be cast
So what kind of man am I
Who never looked up to see the sky
And every word I say
Has come back to haunt me every day
And here I stand alone
Crippled on my cane
The coward I’ve become
The loser in the game
So dig deep, you little b#stard
Let the truth be known
Angels are flying with you tonight
You’d better not let them go
‘Cause if you do I’d hate to think
Of what your fate could be
So speak your mind, tell what you know
And set your family free
What kind of man am I
Who never looked up to see the sky
And every word I say
Has come back to haunt me every day
Speak your heart
So here I stand alone
Crippled on my cane
The coward I’ve become
Set us free
The loser in the game
Tell the truth
