Joseph Arthur - Crying like a man lyrics

You must destroy

All who you employ

To protect your last invention

Work hard its destruction

Ignore your good intention

You must ignore the wrong voice

Whose voice

A peculiar choice

Well I'm sure

You and I can't remember

Living like a backwards trainwreck

trying to disguise the deceit

Intrinsic in our step

When love's got us by the neck

Why can't we just surrender

I'll be quiet

I won't wake you up

Don't whine

Drink wine

Like terpentine

Cleaning out your inside in line

>From your toes up through your spine

Pretend you're a conductor

Maestro without music

God without man

Me without you

Holding your hand

Falling like a leaf

Crying like a man

We silently confess through open eyes

Setting fire to the web spun right behind

In my mind's a spider

And in your heart's a fly

When you're meek you are malicious

Somehow still suspicious

Faithlessly religious
