Titanium Man from Jade DelBen by Jade DelBen

Titanium man
Titanium man

You can look, but you can’t touch
I’m living life from behind the glass
Just a stone’s throw away
From total collapse

I’m supposed to be strong
Built like a man of steel
But I’m sure not super
Not really sure how I feel

I’m a titanium man
And I can’t loosen up
So I still hold my tongue
I’m a titanium man
And when the going gets tough
I can’t do enough

If you look beyond my face
And beneath the cracked coat of paint
You’ll find a broken shell
Of a broken man

I wish I’d be seen
But I’ll not shed a tear
I want to be open
But it’s something I fear

I’m a titanium man
And I can’t loosen up
So I still hold my tongue
I’m a titanium man
And when the going gets tough
I can’t do enough

I’ll still hold my tongue

I’m a titanium man
I know I can’t do enough
Since the going’s got tough
I’m a titanium man
With no chances to win
Or a reason to live
