Be a Man

Be a Man - Justin Rutledge

I am a fly on the wall of a house

Where the windows are always broken

I am a pause in a storm on a dark stair

Whenever your name is spoken

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be the coward or the kiss

Be a man about this

Somewhere there is salt

In the air of a season

That touches the hem

Of an island so northern

Some air is knitting a day for a woman

Whose eyes are upon the horizon

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be the boredom or the bliss

Be a man about this

Be the number or the name

Be the picture or the frame

Be the shoulder or the shame

Be the moth or be her flame

I am the birth of a dawn through a curtain

The hurt of a dawn through a curtain

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be a man about this

Be the coward or the kiss

Be a man about this

Be a man about this
