lyrics

Sulaymon:
The blinding flash of city light dreams/misinterpretations of what life means/a man only lives once/but he dies many times/trynna find the right path/but there are no road signs/cleanse my body like I’m/entering mosques/holocaust machine gun funk that pump through the walls/of apartheid regimes/bullets they pass clean through/NAZI youth supporters/hopped the border/wasn’t seen fool/people are bold/but you/need to be bolder so/brush off that nonage like its dirt on your shoulder/children get older must soldier responsibilities of parents/shit pisses me off like opponents of gay marriage but/nevertheless I/stress to death/this last aspect/of Eastern tradition left/for wherever I am/wherever I stand/I prostrate myself/for I am only a man

For I am only a man (x3)

B.O.M.:
Ignite/take a blast up in the Outerspace/exhale/get your face up in a cloud of haze/true fiasco/these beams are start to shinin’ down/so I looked up in the sky/see the stars flyin’ ‘round/my eyes are round/but the air is so square/with the sight of sound/there/appears a new glare/but it’s barely there/it’s in my mind’s eye/so/these thoughts I can barely share/so I just sit in my chair and stare (I’m only a man)/I sit in my chair and stare (I’m only a man)/I sit in my chair and stare (I’m only a man)/until the think blink starts to interfere
