Say I Am

There's an old man living here after all these years
Thought he'd been dead and gone
But he suddenly appears
And I am not so comfortable with him still around
'Cause he has got a voice in me I have found
There's a chance that I can take him down for good
It's in giving in to what I know I should
And I wish I could, but

I'm not as smart as I think I am
I could lie, but I'll tell the truth
And though I try, it's just no use
I am a foolish, foolish man
And I'm not as good as I say I am
Won't You take this man that remains to be
And nail him up and let him bleed and die
Let him die

I've seen this mystery and I felt no surprise
I've seen a life unfold and still been uninspired
There is no boundary to what I have abused
My pathetic wandering leaves me nothing but confused
And I could tell You that I've got it figured out
Rather stand in front of You and scream and shout
That without a doubt
