To Be Human

Wishful thinking’s a bad religion

Thoughts and prayers don’t help no one

Hugs and kisses are swings and misses

You’re not fooling anyone

Empty words with no real action

From a distance, we stay numb

Let’s just go through all the motions

Just enough to seem human

And every time we convince ourselves

We know what it’s like to be someone else

The world falls deeper into pain

And ever closer to the grave

We’re plugged in but disconnected

Autopilot confusion

Melodramatic attention-addicts

Speaking up for everyone

Just enough to seem human

And every time we convince ourselves

We know what it’s like to be someone else

The world falls deeper into pain

And ever closer to the grave

To the grave

To the grave

Let’s make our actions more than just some words

Open up your heart when somebody hurts

Live your lives in such a way, you are the change

You want in this world

And every time we convince ourselves

We know what it’s like to be someone else

The world falls deeper into pain

And ever closer to the grave

To the grave
