Uncomfortable Silence
Hours passing almost too easily
After the warm rain
Wipes the stench clean
What do I do then?
What can I be?
What kind of a man
Works till the end
To eat at his table
To sleep in his bed
And who can claim the right
To take away the life
Of a man who spent his time
Living through the fight
So tell me the truth
To be the real you
You gotta to sell your soul to the
Highest Bidder
This can’t be right
Turning out the light
It wasn’t long ago
The man I used to know is gone to me
Give me what power
You said I could have
Lies are no new thing
Wish I remembered that
And what kind of man
Works till his end
To eat at his table
To sleep in his bed
And who can claim the right
To take away the life
Of a man who spent his time
Living through the fight
So tell me the truth
To be the real you
You gotta to sell your soul to the
Highest Bidder
This can’t be right
Turning out the light
What’s the name on the headstone
A terrible lie
I no not my name
I know not my life
What’s the name on the headstone
The message beneath
They sowed and I reaped
The life they gave to me
And who can claim the right
To take away the life
Of a man who spent his time
Living through the fight
So tell me the truth
To be the real you
You gotta to sell your soul to the
Highest Bidder
This can’t be right
Turning out the light

Die like men, and leave pretty corpses

Very impacting on how you think about the mood of the song and my favorite lines of your chorus. I also like the rhyming scheme, how some verses rhyme every other line while some of them don't. It gives the song it's own beat to sing inside your head. You should get music to it, like guitars and drums and bass guitars. Yeah, that would be cool.
