Man to Man

He didn’t know what was right,

At the end of the tunnel there wasn’t light,

He was tired of the bright limelight,

But he knew he wouldn’t go down without a fight,

He’d fight for his best friend,

But for some reason, in the end,

He just wouldn’t get noticed,

He’d smile, and in his head, silently protest.

 

In his room there played a haunting symphony,

While he had a daunting epiphany,

You’re your own worst enemy,

But best remedy, so he looked in the mirror,

And he said, let’s sort this,

Man to man…

 

Sleepless nights crying on the floor,

But, he told himself, who’s keeping score?

He wasn’t there when his friends needed him,

Because his sightlines became dim,

When something bad happened, he wouldn’t say,

So he wouldn’t have to pay,

When no one believed a word from his mouth,

He could become his own Sabaoth,

 

And he said lets sort this,

Man to man…

Hi, I wanted to let youse know what Man to Man is about as it gets released. It’s really about needing to tell yourself that it’s ok if no one else is there for you sometimes because you know yourself better than anyone else ever will. It’s about the times you have to give in and the times you should keep fighting, similar to my mentality recently. And I wanted to release it as promo for the collection because it’s about finding your own light in the darkness, and I think I did. Thank youse, Ben. XX❤️
