Many Who Can

I was unconditional back then

You would’ve loved me

I’d have been fine being treated like shit

Ignored and pining

And just so up for it

When I was little I didn’t know love

Only what I thought could be cool

Fucking hell

I was barely out of school


Punted round

Sloshing drinks I’d downed

Sat on laps with mounds

Happy with the fact

I was so easily found

Hands in his beard

And feet off the ground

Knowing any day now

I’d have to come down


And fuck didn’t it come plummeting


Rummaging old clothes

Looking for new soul

Or just a piece

I could feel something in

So much darkness I was summoning

Running in black mood packs

Slumming it

Felt so ugly, dealt so ugly

I was dazing it

But you numb for so long

You abolish revival

No one felt anything for me

So I stopped feeling anything

All thanks to that spiral

Then I put in some work

To awaken

Stood in front of the mirror, naked

Stood in front, naked.


Immature, boring and trapped

That’s not a song

Anyone will scream at the top

Of their lungs

And this cage

Spins from the ceiling where I’m hung

So I’m under the illusion

That I’ve risen to the top

But all it’ll take

Is the locks to pop

For my battered, sorry body

To drop right into your arms

Instead of begging

You to stop.

Begging you to stop.


You’ll never write that about me

You’re just not the type of man

But I don’t know many men

Who can


You’ll never say that about me

You’re just not the type of man

But I don’t know many men

Who can


I don’t know many

Who can.
