The Man

I feel the oppression
 Every time that I think
 How time has changed
 What I am 

I look in the mirror
 I don't know who I see
 Where is the man
 That I've once been 

Sometimes I feel
 That the things I love
 Are the things I hate
 And sometimes I know
 That I'm torn up inside
 And the man that I am
 Is a man that I don't know 

A silence inside me
 Quiet and deep
 So loud that my ears
 Almost bleed 

Anxiety is hunting me
 Paralyzing my mind
 Lying on the ground
 I still fall 

Sometimes I feel
 That the things I love
 Are the things I hate
 And sometimes I know
 That I'm torn up inside
 And the man that I am
 Is a man that I don't know
