JUST A MAN
I was an orphan
Trying to pass as someone
That I'm not
I'm living in a home
That isn't mine
I'm using an identity
That isn't really me
I'm messing with fate
I'm messing with reality
Weak to accept death and pain
Hard to tell under this steel body
I'm nothing but a man
Just flying the sky
With a red sheet tied around my neck
I'm passing time
But time isn't passing me
My soul wishes to go home
But there is no home for me
Love is not right for a man like me
Even though my heart withers in pain
To hold that person who seems right for me
I'm strong on the outside
But a weakling inside
Tears cannot be shed
When children on the street are chanting your name
I couldn't be weak
Weak would be their downfall
Kyrptonite brings me down
Like the fear and pain in their innocent eyes
I can't go to sleep
Knowing that someone needs me
The stars and clouds are my only true companions
Knowing they would never turn on me
Newspapers are filled with my name
Even though I didn't do anything
Justice is what I carry
Evil is what I bury
