I am a man as a man I've been told

Bacon is brought to the house in this mold

Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord

Years I have groveled repentance ignored

***************************

I despise anyone person who blames LuthorCorp for the demise of Smallville.

If it does, it was before I was given the plant. Before I had control, and gave the

plant a thread of decency. I gave it it's humanity.

If you have a problem, go to Metropolis. Go complain to Lionel Luthor.

****************************

And I have been blamed

And I have repented

I'm working my way toward our union mended

***************************

I am a sociable person. I try.

There are people who will look me right in the eyes and lie to my face. There are people

who look me right in the eyes and ask me if I am alright.Those people are so rare. So naive.

So young. And not at all in the circle I need them to be to make a difference

For now,Clark stays in Smallville.

My life goes on in Metropolis.

The people I associate with, go on like I'm there. I'm forced to sit here, and look into the eyes of all the farmers.

Try to gain their trust. Be a god in their eyes.

Sometimes you don't want to be God.

******************************

I am man who has grown from a son

Been crucified by enraged women

I am son who was raised by such men

I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among

******************************

The Messiah complex. The urge to fix and help everyone. I want to be seen as great, as this amazing person.

This person with their long seperated father as their shadow. Someone always over my shoulder, making sure I fuck up just enough to keep the family name up to quota.

Look into their eyes. The farmers, and their children. I can see their hatred. While there are times I long

for love, and a chance to belong, I thrive on their hatred.

*****************************************

And I have been shamed

And I have relented

I'm working my way toward our union mended

And I have been shamed

And I have repented

I'm working my way toward our union mended

*****************************************

It's that look I search for in the eyes of woman. And I see it, before I get to know them. That look, like

they are actually comfortable in my presence. At ease. Until I speak, and the hostility comes pouring out

like hot lava.

What do you expect from a man raised with no mother.I know you're going to leave me. Let me use you like

I want to, and then we can both pretend like this never happened. You can even say you've never met me.

To me, you are nothing but an easy fuck.

*******************************************

we don't fare well with endless reprimands

we don't do well with a life served as a sentence

this won't work well if you're hell bent on your offence

I am a man who understands your resistance

*******************************************

I pity those who get attached to another living person. To live and breathe as that other person breathes. That dependence utterly frightens me. But because I am human, I want that. I want that dependence.

I want my freedom.

I want to live a life without those boundaries. And I want to get the hell out of Smallville.

Everytime I think of my escape, I think of the Kents. Clark's father can't wait for me to leave, because of something my father did. Me leaving would destroy their son.

But I never said loving me was easy.

*******************************************

I am a man who still does what he can

to dispel our archaic reputation

I am a man who has heard all he can

cuz I don't fare well with endless punishment

*******************************************

You can trust me. I've never done a thing to make you think otherwise. Of course, it doesn't mean that I won't trust you. For all I know, you're waiting to turn around and stab me in the back. Or take over the

one thing I am ashamed to carry on in my father's name.

Mess with my head. I have years of mind tricks on my side. Ignorance and bitter self assurance

gave me years of a thick skin.

I can take you.

***********************************************

Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented

I'm working my way toward our union mended

And we have been blamed and we have repented

I'm working my way toward our union mended
