Analysis of I Am Just A Man



I am just a man with endless nights and bar fights,
things that run threw the night knowing that i blew it tonight,
i am just a man who walking tall,who trips and falls
days that fly,days i wish to die
i am just a man days well spent,days with regrets
times that fly,times wondering why
i am just a man heart buring in flames,
not to remember to ease the pain,
i am just a man created by heaven hand,
destroyed by devil man,
i am just a man over the edge,steping a head
looking high,watching below,
i am just a man trying to be free,
everything pulling at me,
i am just a man a heart that was real,
walls of steel to hide how to feel,
i am just a man on the earth,
six feet in the dirt;
i am just a man
