lyrics

Are we even human, you and I?
Are we even human, you and I?
We take our time, we take our time
Are we even human?
You watch the sky, as I pin it down

If you want a day job,
If you want a day job,
take some time, kill with us
Make it right
Make the world

Are we even human, you and I?
Your favorite color’s red and mine too,
but only if it’s fresh
Fresh from the dead eyes of someone spilling with pride
Are we even human, you and I?
It makes me cry to see them all gathered ‘round

If you want a day job,
If you want a day job,
take some time, let go
Let go

Holding onto morning in a shed back in the woods
A story often told and here we live inside our dreams
Seeing all the life around me makes me feel sicker than all else,
I don’t try to hide and stop my hatred or get help
Fuck all of the liars who call you names and put you down
I get enough of that from living in this town

Please consider dying alone
You won’t need no time to scream or moan
Just talk to me in the front of the house

Kill all of the losers who won’t get their pretty dates,
they’ll die alone and I’ll help them end the wait
Make the biggest leap, drop down and step into the haze
Snuff the blue flame and let your thoughts slip away

Are we even human, you and I?
You make me cry when you don’t start keeping track of the bodies

I don’t really care if my shirt’s not on quite right
In fact, I think I’ll take it off
So the stains don’t stay the night

I don’t really care if I never crack a smile,
I’m better off than dead, you’re all off much worse than I
Snuff your life completely,
Stuff it in a box and say you never knew what it was
Skip your life completely, move it to the docks
And cast it into the sea

In the sea, you’ll drown and no one will care
