What Is A Man? Lyrics

Only a fool would mistake

The hunger I feel for greed

My poisonous ambition

Has led me to confuse my wants for needs

Never have I questioned my ability

To make you out as unclean

But little do they know the part you play

In the accusations branded

On my name

But what is a man?

What is it to be?

Is it to work and sweat and strive

Not to bleed

Tossed on the debts unpaid like the roaring sea

What's it to be?

What does it mean to me?

Tell me what would you think of me

If I told you all my sins

Would you banish me away or pin me down?

And twist the melancholy things

Into stories of temptation and vanity

Maybe you'll fabricate a lie in which you'll be

A hero

Never got my reason so let me know

As you twist the knife slow

Let me know

What is a man?

What is it to be?

Is it it love and hope our children never see?

What we endure everyday

The agony

What's it to be?

What does it mean to me?

What's it to be?

What does it mean?

What's it to me?

What does it mean to me?
