  • Verse 1
    There's 
    a man 
    in me 

    He's 
    cold 
    and 
    he's 
    hard 

    He's got 
    an eye 
    for 
    deception 

    He's 
    always 
    on 
    guard 

    He's 
    swimming 
    in 
    concrete 

    Drowning 
    in 
    fear 

    And he 
    keeps 
    it 
    all 
    locked 
    in 
    his 
    heart 

    Verse 2
    This 
    man 
    is 
    a tyrant, 
    a fault 
    finding 
    hack 

    You 
    can't 
    tell 
    him 
    nothing 

    There's 
    no 
    turning 
    back 

    He 
    leaves 
    blood 
    on 
    the 
    highway 

    And scattered 
    debris 

    He 
    crawls 
    from 
    the 
    wreckage 

    But he still 
    doesn't 
    see 

    He's 
    alive 

    The man 
    is 
    jive 

    Verse 3

    There's 
    a man 
    in 
    the mirror 

    I don't 
    like 
    his 
    looks 

    His 
    teeth 
    they 
    are 
    crooked 

    His 
    hands 
    are 
    like 
    hooks 

    He 
    speaks 
    4 letter 
    language 

    Because 
    his 
    mind 
    is 
    so 
    small 

    His 
    voice 
    is like 
    venom 

    I don't 
    like 
    him 
    at 
    all 

    God, 
    gotta 
    get 
    away 
    from 

    the man 
    in 
    me 

    Verse 4

    She says 

    What 
    are you 
    afraid 
    of 

    There's 
    no 
    need 
    to 
    judge 

    You 
    know 
    can 
    help 
    you 

    But 
    you 
    won't 
    even 
    budge 

    Pretty 
    flowers 
    surround 
    you 

    But 
    all 
    you 
    can smell 
    is 
    rat 

    She 
    says 

    Why 
    do you 
    insist 
    on 
    your 

    head 
    in 
    the sand 

    Building 
    walls 
    all 
    around 
    you, 

    you 
    don't 
    understand 

    These 
    ways 
    are 
    outmoded, 

    But 
    all 
    you 
    can 
    change 
    is 
    your 
    hat 

    The man 
    in 
    me 
    don't 
    wanna 
    know 
    nothing 
    about 

    that 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 5
    There's 
    a man 
    in 
    the closet 

    He 
    wants 
    to 
    come 
    out 

    He 
    wants 
    to 
    be 
    noticed 

    But he's 
    so 
    filled 
    with 
    doubt 

    He wants 
    to 
    be 
    well 
    known 
    and 
    famous 

    But 
    he's 
    so 
    filled 
    with 
    pride 

    The keys 
    to 
    his 
    fortune 

    stay 
    locked 
    up 
    inside 

    Can 
    it 
    be 
    the man 
    in 
    me? 

    Verse 6

    She says 

    Now 
    what 
    are you 
    afraid 
    of? 

    There's 
    nothing 
    to 
    fear 

    You 
    want 
    me 
    to 
    help 

    But 
    you 
    won't 
    let 
    me 
    near 

    In 
    your 
    heart 
    you 
    can 
    hear 
    me 

    But 
    all 
    you 
    believe 
    are 
    your 
    eyes 

    Tell 
    me 
    why 
    you're 
    convinced 

    That 
    fist 
    in your 
    face 

    Is 
    all 
    you 
    deserve 

    From love 
    you've 
    misplaced 

    The truth 
    is 
    salvation 

    But 
    all 
    you 
    believe 
    in 
    are 
    lies 

    The man 
    in 
    me 
    wants 
    to 
    be
    lieve, 

    But he 
    won't 
    even 
    try 

    Verse 7

    There's 
    man 
    in 
    me, 

    And he's so 
    full 
    of 
    hate 

    He's so 
    misdirected 

    He thinks 
    it's 
    too 
    late 

    Pours 
    salt 
    on 
    the 
    wounds 

    Only 
    Time 
    wants 
    to 
    heal 

    He's 
    dying 
    inside 

    And he 
    don't 
    wanna 
    feel 

    Any
    thing 

    Outro 1
    The man 
    is 
    strange

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
