Human

Appears on Souvenirs

Writing screeds across the chalkboard 
Connecting dots that never were 
With the scratches of a madman in a notepad 
I am harvesting the truth that I prefer 
You recognize my face? I recognize the score 

I am practicing an art form 
Keeping all my sins concealed 
Got my eyes upon the dawn of insurrection 
Hoping now that nothing is revealed 
But I’m counting down the days and adding up the score 
I’m not feeling human anymore 

All my words don’t really matter 
I could murder and I’d still be fine 
‘Cause anger is a powerful emotion 
It’s the only thing that’s keeping my alive 
But I’m terrorized by fate and haunted by the score 
I’m not feeling human anymore 
I’m not feeling human anymore 

I’ve been courting all you stand for 
For a promise that could never be 
Dangling the bait with bitter nothings 
Until I got you bowing down to me 
You sell away your faith to satisfy my score 
Oh you sell away your faith to satisfy my score 
No I’m not feeling human anymore 
I’m not feeling human anymore 
I’m not feeling human anymore
