Walk Like a Man

Markermorse

	I crawled behind; now I walk alone
	through the ashes of your life and the vacuum of your soul.
	You're every man I hated, and every man I loved.
	The sins of your father is died in my blood.

	And now I don't understand how to walk;
	how to walk like a man

	In the image of our father I stand accused
	of the Madonnas untouchable and the ones I've abused.
	It takes so much trust to let the tears roll down;
	the feelings explode when no-one else is around.

	I change what I can, but I still walk;
	I still walk like a man.

	The symbols, the buildings, the fast cars,
	the sex, the wet dreams, the smoky bars,
	the tasteless jokes, the resumes, the impossible request
	I took from your shoulders and put on my chest.

	And now I don't understand how to walk;
	how to walk like a man.

	Listen man, I know that I sound confused,
	but I can't let go of every role that I have ever refused.
	As my child grows in the womb of my mate,
	I pray it's not in the belly of my beast or the seed of my hate.

	I'll gently hold its hand,
	but I'll still walk like a man.
