Lyrics for The Man I'm Supposed To Be

I saw that demon inside me Trying to claim my body as it's own Invader, enslaver, little headstone Tell me, has it grown? The kids in the end will be fine Playing on the island in my mind And when the island's gone, they will be finer I've been living too long in my head Not loving you enough in our bed From now on, I start living my life As if the next day, I'll be dead Next day, I'll be dead I don't wanna be the man that I am anymore I want the man you see to be the man you adore Cut out that little piece of me, throw it on the floor And watch the man I'm supposed to be walk right through that door And now, my biggest fear is not the dying My biggest fear is that I'll stop trying To be the man I am supposed to be We take life seriously, laugh in the face of death Yeah, we take life seriously, laugh in the face of death We take life seriously, laugh in the face of death
