we don't believe in humans
3:13 PM
they say our character and integrity define us.
but this is for the people who cheated on that math test.
this is for those who already have to go to attendance school.
for the ones who are still in denial about losing the one they thought loved them back
Do you still have to stop at a stop sign if no ones around?
They tell me you're defined by what you do when the teachers out of the room,
By what you say behind your friends back,
And by how much you tip the waiter.
Human: adjective
[hyoo-muh n]
1. of, pertaining to, characteristic of, or having the nature of people
No one can pinpoint or define being human.
not even dictionary.com
This is what I do know:
not even dictionary.com
This is what I do know:
There are people out there who don't seem human.
The world is full of monsters.
Of people no longer human.
Their skin is nice but their soul is not.
They once were, but so many wrong turns stripped them of their ability to feel.
and they've forgotten what it feels like to love someone and have someone love them back.
It's drifted off in the wind and gone to the land that everyone's searching for.
humans: monsters trapped in pretty skin
so I don't believe in humans.
because I saw the monster in you.
the most human person I know.
because I saw the monster in you.
the most human person I know.
