Lyrics
The Man Who Wasn't There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Burning silhouettes against the wall
Fading cigarettes and empty halls
Breaking like I have someone to blame
But it's not me, oh it's not me here today
I was just a casualty of men
I was on the line of my descent
And I'm breaking like I have someone to blame
But it's not me, it's not me here today
The sedatives are swollen in my throat
The sedatives are swollen in my throat
And I'm breaking like I have someone to blame
But it's not me, it's not me
And I'm down before they even call my name
But it's not me, oh it's not me here today
