The flight: lincoln to minneapolis

No joke took a breath and then awoke
I was standing in an airport looking like a joke
Saying "Sir, can you help me?
Ma´am could you please?"
So they led me to the pay phone
Flaggin´ down the police
"Mr. Officer I know who I am. But the rest of me,
My memory, I just don´t understand
I do know that I´m unsafe, man with a plan,
Of gettin´ on a plane
Fly away to kill a man"
Like a freight train threat to myself
I gotta history of blackouts, bad mental health so…
Both cops each arm alarm
No harm disarm pat down do the body check
Next thing I was walking on the airfield
Back seat I was headed to the hospital
I´m sorry for the drama that I bring
Through the screen he said
"Son you did the right thing"
Please help me understand
Why you can´t talk man to man
But you can stand with your dick in your hand
Why you acting like a pussy, man?
Please help me understand
Why you can´t talk man to man
But you can stand with your dick in your hand
You acting like a pussy, man
I was faithful to the wifey now we separated
Used to try to win her back I underestimated
Like a stone sinks down into the complicated fact
That you gave that ass up and never fucking dated
See you´re better than that
You´re a diamond he´s a rough real tough, man
Call a brother back
Just a pussy with a dick
Stand up and be a fucking man
Hiding from the husband
Scared to make a peep and
Livin´ up in Lincoln
Now I´m in the deep end
Think I´m gonna break in smash your fucking face in
Cut you up with lemon juice
And watch you try to fuck then
Please help me understand
Why you can´t talk man to man
But you stand with your dick in your hand
Why you acting like a pussy, man?
Please help me understand
Why you can´t talk man to man
But you stand with your dick in your hand
Acting like a pussy, man
Is that beat up...is that beat up yet?
(please help me understand)
(why can´t talk man to man)
Is that beat up...is that beat up yet?
I wish that I were man enough
To turn my back and leave
To forget all the tricks you pull,
And hide them in my sleeve
I know what´s best for table play,
I know what´s best for me
I know this life is way too short, to let you kill a dream.
I know you´re capable to only love me when I´m there
I know it´s hell to keep the peace
Inside your heart and head
But I´m always gone and what you´re left with is my song
You´re sick of listening to anything turn me off instead.
You used to call me cool, believed in what I´d say
Never seen me as a failure or a mother fucking fake
But over time we changed into this little ball of hate
We shared a bedroom,
But the bedroom had a bed we never made so
I´m done with holding this in
I´m done with being a friend
I´d like it all to just end like brand new ink on a pen
No one can stop me….try to stop me...
Just try to stop me...
Please help me understand
Why you can´t talk man to man
But you stand with your dick in your hand
You´re acting like a pussy, man
Please help me understand
Why you can´t talk man to man
But you can stand limp dick in your hand
You´re acting like a pussy, man
I was standing in an airport looking like a joke
Saying "Sir, can you help me?
Ma´am could you please?"
