Selfish Man

I don't eat I just devour Everyone in every hour All is me, is all I need and that's all that I care Propelled through all this madness By your beauty and my sadness I'll never change or rearrange 'Till I've finished what I've started And life leads me here It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me Like the time, you slipped through my hands I'll never understand Why I'm such a selfish man Walk around me not before me I'll pretend not to ignore ye But I'll compromise if I realize you can do something for me I'm ugly and you know it But you think that I'm a poet So I'll keep the rhyme if I feel in time It gets me where I'm going And life leads me here It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me Like the time, you slipped through my hands And I'll never understand No, I'll never understand Why I'm such a selfish man All I heard was an unearthly silence Apart from the violence, explode in my head Where all at once was this moment of beauty No more since it slew me, no never again, again, again Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey No, I'll never understand No, I'll never understand Why I'm such a selfish man Selfish man, selfish man, selfish man, selfish man, selfish man --- Selfish Man - Flogging Molly
