J.O.A.D. - The Gingerbread Man Lyrics

I am the gingerbread man
Why don't you understand
What's keeping me alive
I'm the gingerbread man
Live in everyone's head
Existing in your mind
I'm the gingerbread man
Your very last stand
Not long and I'll be dead

I am the voice inside your head
At night I like to watch you from the edge of your bed
I was always there to understand
But you decide to grow up and forget me instead

Let's take a trip into forgotten lands
Where you could live to be another man

I am the gingerbread man
Why don't you understand
What's keeping me alive
I'm the gingerbread man
Live in everyone's head
Existing in your mind
I'm the gingerbread man
Your very last stand
Not long and I'll be dead

I am all the books you've ever read
And I am all the memories of childhood friends
I never missed a single thing you've said
I tried so hard to make you see what I intend
You don't know what you're gonna lose with me
And a frown that's forever carved into your face
Will persist like your evergrowing disbelief in me
Why don't you take my hand and

We'll take a trip into forgotten lands
Where you could live to be another man

I am the gingerbread man
Why don't you understand
What's keeping me alive
I'm the gingerbread man
Live in everyone's head
Existing in your mind
I'm the gingerbread man
Your very last stand
Not long and I'll be dead

Can you bear the pressure
Can you keep it under control
Can you withstand the pressure
Can you keep it under control

I am the gingerbread man
Why don't you understand
What's keeping me alive
I'm the gingerbread man
Live in everyone's head
Existing in your mind
I'm the gingerbread man
Your very last stand
Not long and I'll be dead
