When We Were Human

Step in my mind Walk thru the fire What was a spark Grew to burning desire Now theres a flame in my brain That I can not contain And it's burning to keep me inspired They try to extinguish By holding hoses They must be high Putting coke up their noses They die and they choke Like some unwatered roses Dried up inside Now they casket is closing I'm feeling I'm chosen Like I've just risen My name ain't Jesus My faith is a given I ain't about wasting my days in a prison You're more than tripping Like you're candy flipping I am a Christian No Im not perfect Was born in to sin Wasn't born of a virgin I fit the description of criminals perfect Tattoos on my skin They're surprised that I'm working I got a mortgage And copped me a couch Bought me a new car Put it all in my house Boy I Got loans out the ass That's no doubt Knowing I owe all that cash Stress me out That's for my daughter My son and my girl Traded my Doberman in for that world Some times in this world gotta choose Either way that time I felt I was gonna lose When we were human We used to look each other in our face when we were human We used to look each other in our face now we're staring down at our hands When we were human When we were human We used to look each other in our face when we were human Now we're staring down at our hands Picked all the locks Broke all the chains What was a thought Has escaped from my brain Some moments got lost So I'm afraid I can't recall if my words caused pain I lost control Kicked in the door Almost let myself push love to the floor Sometimes I don't notice my face anymore When I look in mirror its a stranger for sure Removing that mask What do I say? I've put up a wall So I don't face the change I've put up a fence Made love hard to embrace I've blocked out my feelings Emotions erased Sorry I run Sorry I hide Sorry I'm good at them both I've had time To practice my walk And perfect my stride Playing the role Like I'm acting full time So this is the stage And you're the front row The only one in the whole crowd That I know That keeps me together the times I explode The beginning & ending of every show In every city, in every life Your scars are the proof Your hands freeze time Your hands are the proof I'm not worthy but I Will testify Because he had died There on the cross For all of my sins Before I was lost Now I know where to begin Begin with a thought Second, a word Now clearly I see Before it was blurred That you are not death You are the birth The alpha omega The heart of the church The tip of the Thorne That pokes in my side Every time I'm questioning myself why? Why am I here? What is my purpose What do I fear Why am I worthy We're all separated We need a union More love and less hating Back to when we were human
