| The Many Faces of the Invisible Man |
  |
As you go through life you pick up many labels some of them fair others
not so much.When you go through the majority of your life as a single
guy you get labelled a player.Am I guilty of this dubious
distinction...maybe in my younger days but definately not now.It took
me along time to figure out that living this lifestyle is very hurtful
to the partners you hook up with over the years and at the end of the
day when you look yourself in the mirror that empty feeling you get
when you realize you do nothing but use people eats at you.So I made a
conscience effort to change but the only problem was nobody beleived
me.Everyone was so used to my selfishness that when I tried to turn a
new leaf all I encountered was skepticism.I failed to realize that time
gets us all and the girls that used to be so easy to pick up now went
for the younger men and I was left scratching my head wondering what
the f**k happened.My ego needed a good kick in the ass and it got it
and all of a sudden I became the one whining about there being no
decent girls left and I was the guy that went home alone.Depression
kicked in and unknowingly I started substituting food for sex and got
extemely fat.I was bitter because I beleived the world had past me by
and my existence had become completely inconscienquencial but what
bothered me the most is that I did it to myself no matter how much my
ego tried to convince me otherwise.When I was younger I treated girls
like they were disposable with a my way or the highway attitude and I
hurt alot of people in the process.I know it doesn't mean much now but
I would like to apologize to all of them and there are a few that won't
accept the sentiment and thats my fault too.As I matured as a person I
feel shame about the way I treated alot of people and have to live with
this dishonour every day.My motto know is treat people the way you want
to be treated and above all respect people's feelings cause nobody and
I mean nobody deserves to feel like they are lesser of a person than I
am.So you say then why are you the singer in a rock band if your not
trying to recapture your former glory days...isn't sex with lots of
adoring women part of your motivation???DA oh course it is BUT...I WANT
MORE.Life isn't about just sex it's actually about making a
statement.If and I say that because I'm single I end up hooking up with
someone this time I want it to be a lasting thing and that means when
oportunities arise I have to walk away and be true to the person I'm
with.Cause at the end of the day I want to feel I shared this journey
with my significant other and make her proud of me and that means more
to me than some random piece of ass.This song is about this journey my
life has taken so far and the aftermath of living like this...
THE MANY FACES OF THE INVISIBLE MAN
I’ve left a trail of broken hearts
Scattered throughout my past
I’ve tried to give my heart away
Never found the one to last
Under the mask of broken promises
I have no real master plan
I look in the mirror only to see
The many faces of the invisible man
CHORUS
Misery loves company so invite me over
Just don’t ask me who I am
Cause I’ll hide behind some brave facade
And show you one of the many faces of the invisible man
I drift in and out of peoples lives
Leave them lying in my wake
I bleed them dry and spit them out
I push them until they break
There is no honor in my life
I take everything that I can
Even I can’t recognize
The many faces of the invisible man
REPEAT CHORUS
I’ve never had that one defining moment
Just momentary lapses of reason
I could never learn to compromise
I have nothing left to believe in
Spent my life breaking all the rules
It’s been the law of supply and demand
All that’s left is misplaced loyalty
And the many faces of the invisible man
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS |
