The Man Who Wasn't There

Angst Ridden
yea or so I'm told
this man was never there
never anywhere
so speak now
and act like a selfish clown
the man who wasn’t there
always denied his words
so what truth did you speak
did you speak any at all
the man who wasn't there
knows where I stand
and where I roam
and where does he stand
does he belong?
Angst Ridden he says
yea or so I'm told

and yea
I know I'm fucked up
but what makes you so perfect
philosophy has always been redundant to me
come what may
come whatever may to this heart
the man who wasn't there
suddenly feels like he's
been a part of this life for so long
but he hasn't even heard my voice
he hasn't seen my life
he's never been in my shoes
looking at me
from a distance
the man who wasn't there
like to plays children’s games
but I'm not a child
and I don't fancy guessing games
and yea
I know I'm fucked up
but so are you
always trapped in drama
come whatever may

Angst Ridden
yea or so I'm told
this man doesn't know who he is
and if he does
he's never said anything from the heart
and now he's contemplating things
and I'm ready to take the fall
from the edge of the world
come and push me off the edge
run with your heart
and come and push me off
I know I'm ready to get pushed
and I know you want to push me
so come on and now is your chance
The man who wasn't there
now appears and he's not what he seems
he's not the same
not that I ever knew who he once was
but he's not the same
Angst Ridden he says
and lost in the world
in a reality he could never grasp
Angst Ridden
yea or so I'm told

and now we're face to face
and he's ready to push me off
with the heart he has
its a mystery that I don’t wish to figure out
but would he speak a word
from the heart
confusion, anxiety, panic, tears, hatred, discontent, poetic injustice
the air is cold in between us
and what does he wish of me
he looks at me with blank expression
at the edge of the world
I cannot stand here
if I stand here for a moment longer I'll fall to my knees
grow weak and rip out my heart
and watch the life I have
leave this body of mine
and just when he opens his mouth
Angst Ridden

I turn my head and fall off the edge
