In the Shape of a Man Video (MV)

Al conocer a la vida
En la sombra de soledad
Me lleva al acantilado
En medio de tempestad
No hay volver a la zona
De consuelo ni descanso
Me adorno de la corona
Del castigo que me lanzo

I hit the get up
Awake and eyes open
So dream-stare-blinded by the mind not coping
Hoping to elope with hope before the past comes scoping
Knowing nope is to dope as being broke is to smoking
Little lifted head up
In time of crazier days
But no way's he going back to raise a heyday pays
So there's a 12-step in session tattooed 13
But nobody ever mentions how the dirty get clean
A hallelujah?
A spirit and a spark and a speaker?
The neighborhood narc is a professional tweaker?
He's never gonna ever wanna do it again
Testifying to the beast licking chinny chin-chin
So nicotine and caffeine and all things not quitted
Conversation with a wall is all the small talk admitted
That above is the love that no one else understands
It's a life-sized scar in the shape of a man

Al conocer a la vida
En la sombra de soledad
Me lleva al acantilado
En medio de tempestad
No hay volver a la zona
De consuelo ni descanso
Me adorno de la corona
Del castigo que me lanzo

I've never been the same on this side of the door
As the perpetual slam is a reminder to belong
In a world where all that matters is the quest for more
This is less a dyslexic right than left for a wrong
Yes, a keep-on reason when the light gets dim
Though still chemically dependent as the ocean I swim
Teaches that a love for water not forgoes the shore
But tripping to the store remains an every-weekend-war

The enemy attacks subtle from an ever-present riddle
"Who was it that you hated when so innocent and little?
Images conjured up of just another stupid kid
Put him on the curb suburban with the trash and get rid
Of every last underdeveloped
Telling him to shut the hell up
Have a beer no fear as the tears don't well up
Walk away under the gray sky and high and get maybe
That's the way that a real man is made out of a baby
For a cancer grows slow and the past goes fast
And every last addict knows that suicide is a blast
And every ugly insider's glorified in his mask
So if you ever need a hug, motherf*cker, just ask
I'm a number one runner, shame is my best friend
The strongest bond I've ever had and deepest wound I have to mend
Probably been here since before the universe began
It's a life-sized scar in the shape of a man

Al conocer a la vida
En la sombra de soledad
Me lleva al acantilado
En medio de tempestad
No hay volver a la zona
De consuelo ni descanso
Me adorno de la corona
Del castigo que me lanzo
