Verse 1:
I hate myself,
more than I ever let on,
I'm burnt out, at 22,
I live too fast, and I love too much, and I'll die too young,
But I chose this cup that I drank from,
Knew what I was getting into,
But I couldnt let out what I had to keep in,
I'm ashamed of myself, and unspeakable sin, that I've commited and...

Chorus:
I've made mistakes,
But I'll find my way,
No explanation for,
the things I've failed at before,
They can't hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man,
through the tortures of the damned. (of the damned)

Verse 2:
If I only had an axe,
I'd sever the ties that I've made with the world.
Maybe I can be a stranger,
In a strange place.
If I start now maybe I can be safe.
If I only had a mask,
I'd cover these bleeding eyes.
They're bloodshot now, but they'll be black by dawn.
If I wake up now I can be pure again.

Chorus:
I've made mistakes,
But I'll find my way,
No explanation for,
the things I've failed at before,
They can't hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man,
through the tortures of the damned.

Look at me now, I'm on the tracks with my back towards the last train leaving town. [repeat 4x]

Chorus:
I've made mistakes,
But I'll find my way,
No explanation for,
the things I've failed at before,
They can't hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man,
(through the tortures of the damned.)

Chorus:
I've made mistakes,
But I'll find my way,
No explanation for,
the things I've failed at before,
They can't hold my hand.
It just hurts to be a man,
through the tortures of the damned. (of the damned)
