[ part of being a man ]

and I’m sitting here alone
while you’re in a distant place
while our country is at war
and families are crying
while loved ones pack up
to fight the death clouds away
and im sitting here tonight
thinking to myself
that things could be so much worse
i could lose a loved one
and see them off
to that place above the earth
but instead i think of you tonight
between your parties and your rum
between your camera and the lens
between the beaches and the sun
is there a place for me in your mind right now
while you’re having all the fun?
while you sneek a peak here and there
and think nothing of it
and touch and grab and poke and stare
and say it’s part of being a man
and i sit here with my hands tied down
with my heart tied down
tied down to you
