The Man With No Emotions
He slowly walks out in the frost beaten air
He breathes out a sigh, he just doesn't care
With a glazed look he stares up at he sky and wonders
Whether he should live or die
He carries on walking further into the night
A long shadow falls as he passes street lights
The cold wind bites him Alas he still doesn't care
It's the pain in his heart that's the hardest to bear
So who is this man walking?
Is it you? Is it I?
Well I'll tell you, you know him
And now I'll tell you why
He is the man with no emotions
The man who you think never cries
That's because his inner feelings
Are hidden deep inside
You'll hear him laugh away
The snide comments of his life
Although each one hurts him
Like a cut from a knife
And the wound will slowly deepen
Until at last he'll die
In pain, in misery
But you'll never know why.
He draws a large breath as he passes his old school
But the memories that return are bitter and cruel
The comments in passing an the rumours around the class
Although he laughed, they cut him like glass
He showed no emotion, the people didn't care
The man you can hurt, as much as you dare
But he carries on walking, silent tear in his eye
Just wondering whether to live or to die
So who is this man walking?
Is it you? Is it I?
Well I'll tell you, you know him
And now I'll tell you why
He is the man with no emotions
The man who you think never cries
That's because his inner feelings
Are hidden deep inside
You'll hear him laugh away
The snide comments of his life
Although each one hurts him
Like a cut from a knife
And the wound will slowly deepen
Until at last he'll die
In pain, in misery
But you'll never know why.
He stands on the bridge that the cars pass beneath
He looks at the road, badly stricken with grief
He knows some people love him but they too don't understand
The feelings inside were always kept in hand.
Suddenly there's no grief or sorrow anymore
A crowd gathers round, not believing what they saw
The cracked smile on his face shows he's found peace at last
The snide comments of his life have finally past
So who was that man walking?
Is it you? Is it I?
Well I'll tell you, you knew him
And now I'll tell you why
He is the man with no emotion
The man who you thought never cried
But the man you hurt so badly
So caused him to die
So when you're passing comment
Be careful what you say
Because the men with no emotions
We're still around today
So go forth then my brothers
Speak of only love to fellow man
Let's get rid of loneliness and despairing
If we can.
