The Man I'm Supposed to Be

I saw that demon inside me
Trying to claim my body as it's own
Invader, enslaver, little headstone
Tell me, has it grown?

The kids in the end will be fine
Playing on the island in my mind
And when the island's gone, they will be finer

I've been living too long in my head
Not loving you enough in our bed
From now on, I start living my life
As if the next day, I'll be dead
Next day, I'll be dead

I don't wanna be the man that I am anymore
I want the man you see to be the man you adore
Cut out that little piece of me, throw it on the floor
And watch the man I'm supposed to be walk right through that door

And now, my biggest fear is not the dying
My biggest fear is that I'll stop trying
To be the man I am supposed to be
We take life seriously, laugh in the face of death
Yeah, we take life seriously, laugh in the face of death
We take life seriously, laugh in the face of death
