lyrics

I pace the days in repentance wearing sensible shoes
On the bus to my shit job I count the ways that I failed you
You loved me for a lie of a better man than me
But as the sagging days collect you begin to see
That I'm no romantic hero nor some lost highway kid
I've never kept a promise though I often swore I did
Many nights you wake after a dream in which you fall
And every morning I wake up without any dream at all



Did I really work that hard to end up like this?
I didn't notice any chances lost or any that I miss
I'm numb to the joy and I'm numb to misery
A dull, self-loathing anger is all that I can be
When the fuck did this happen or was it always this way?
When did the black dog enter and is he here to stay?
I'm searching for the spool of the man I used to be
I'll listen to his voice and practice till the man is me



I listen to the recording of the younger man
He sings of revolution in a voice that believes he can
Everything is felt more deeply with a love that is fair
And the music has a power that I forgot was there
He's calling out for love and he's calling out for pain
But the songs that he is singing all sounds the same
I turn the record off and think of the dream in which you fall
The record gets stored away - that isn't me at all.



Male role blues
When you fight and lose
Not the life we choose
Playing the male role blues.
