Say I Am

There's an old man living here after all these years
 Thought he'd been dead and gone
 But he suddenly appears
 And I am not so comfortable with him still around
 'Cause he has got a voice in me I have found
 There's a chance that I can take him down for good
 It's in giving in to what I know I should
 And I wish I could, but
 I'm not as smart as I think I am
 I could lie, but I'll tell the truth
 And though I try, it's just no use
 I am a foolish, foolish man
 And I'm not as good as I say I am
 Won't You take this man that remains to be
 And nail him up and let him bleed and die
 Let him die
 I've seen this mystery and I felt no surprise
 I've seen a life unfold and still been uninspired
 There is no boundary to what I have abused
 My pathetic wandering leaves me nothing but confused
 And I could tell You that I've got it figured out
 Rather stand in front of You and scream and shout
 That without a doubt
