I Can Make You A Man
frank Lyrics

They call me Frankie Killjoy
I am referred to as Frankie the Joyless, someone who brings a gloomy energy.

The saddest thing in the room
I am perceived as the most sorrowful presence in this space.

With some songs from the heart
I express myself through deeply personal and emotional songs.

A heart torn apart
My heart is fragmented, reflecting my struggles and pain.

Here I come to change the mood
I arrive with the intention to alter the atmosphere of this place.

I write from experience
My songwriting draws from my lived experiences.

Years and years of the wrong ingredients
I've spent countless years facing setbacks and making poor choices.

All my trials, all my trails, my losses
I've endured many challenges and hardships throughout my life.

My fails released without bail
My failures are public and unrestrained, revealing my vulnerabilities.

I know that things aren't so bad
I possess a sense of optimism, recognizing that life's difficulties have a silver lining.

With rainbows and flowers and all that jazz
Life does have beauty and joy amidst its chaos—symbolized by colorful imagery.

This life with these eyes don't see that
However, my perspective is clouded, making it hard for me to appreciate that beauty.

I'll turn your highs into lows
I have the ability to transform joyful moments into sorrowful ones through my influence.

Are you sure you wanna show?
I ask if you truly want to reveal your emotions, given their potential for sadness.

I need to know because I
It’s important for me to understand your desires before proceeding.

Can make you depressed
I possess the power to evoke feelings of sadness in you.

Tell me and I'll go, whoa whoa
Let me know how you feel, and I’ll take a moment to pause and consider.

If it's so easy just to cheer up
If overcoming sadness was effortless, I would have already found a way to do so.

I would've done it by now and not stop
I would have continuously pursued happiness and not have struggled if it were simple.

I'll just do my thing
I will continue to express myself in the way that feels authentic to me.

I'll stand and I'll sing
I will remain in this space and share my music regardless of the reception.

While you ignore me
I recognize that my efforts may go unacknowledged by others.

There's a lot of love about
Despite the negativity, there is still affection and care present in life.

Lot of kisses and booze on the mouth
Interactions are filled with physical affection and indulgence, often masking deeper issues.

But on the stage
However, in the spotlight, the facade shifts to reveal my true self.

I'm a middle-age white background
I feel like an unremarkable presence, somewhat invisible against a vibrant backdrop.

I know that things aren't so bad
I still cling to the belief that life has positive aspects, despite the challenges.

With rainbows and flowers and all that jazz
Even though I can acknowledge beauty, it is often overshadowed by my darker thoughts.

This life with these eyes don't see that
My current viewpoint prevents me from fully experiencing the joy that exists.

So I'll stay far behind
Consequently, I will withdraw from the spotlight and remain in the background.

No point trying something I
There's little benefit in attempting to engage with situations I know I cannot handle.

Can't hide my mind they like no ones
My thoughts are transparent, contrasting with societal expectations of concealment.

What's this thing called fun
I am perplexed by the concept of enjoyment, feeling disconnected from it.

I've lost it inside
I have internally misplaced any sense of joy or amusement.

Ba dum ba dum ba da bum
A nonsensical, rhythmic interjection to convey my disheartened mood.

Ba dum dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
A further playful yet melancholic expression, reflecting the absurdity of my situation.

Ba da bum, hey hey hey da da dum
Another whimsical phrase indicating my resignation to the circumstances.

It seems my work here is done
I feel as though I have fulfilled my purpose in this moment, for better or worse.

And I've sung whatever I sung
I will take ownership of my performance, regardless of its positive or negative impact.

And it is my guess I just made you depressed
I suspect that my expressions have contributed to your feelings of sadness.

To that I just shrug
I react with indifference, accepting that such emotional connections are part of the experience.
