H.M. Hammarin - Mental Man
First track in the Mental Man EP. This song always did make me feel a bit eerie.
Transcribed lyrics by me:
For once I'm giving in
To happiness and awe
For once I'm living in
A world where I can cope
You know I can't have it
I can't have it that way
You know that I'll have to walk away
Once more I'm giving up
On my cravings and my urge
Once more I'm living up on my savings
In the search
You know I don't need this
I don't need this one bit
You know what I need is
I want to help me quit this
Life as a mental man
I've got to end this
Life as a mental man
It's so hard to see
What's made up and what's real
In my life as a mental man
I try to get by
Living this life
In my life as a mental man
The world is waiting for me
To unleash my powers
You know I try and do that
Every waking hour
I've dealt with the dangers
And the demons in my head
Now I'm fighting angels instead
But there's this notion
That keeps me coming back
Like some kind of carrot
Keeping me on track
It shines like a beacon
Like a beacon in the storm
That woman's got me considering a normal
Life as a gentleman
Instead of this life
As a mental man
I have to believe
Someday I'll be relieved
Of my life as a mental man
I heard there's a cure
I don't have to endure
This life as a mental man
I know now what I am
Yes, I know now what I am
I know now what I am
A mental man
