Lyrics
Once Was Human
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look away,
You've got no conscience so why these tears,
That fall down,
Just like all the helpless souls,
A momory lost,
Truncated visions that rape your mind,
They swallow me,
Am I so weak,
I cannot escape.
Darker nights,
Visions of a life I lead,
They fail in me,
Conceiving nothing,
This I bare,
As real life,
Here I stand with all my strength,
A pedigree,
And yet I crumble beneath this strength,
Chorus
Once was human,
We paralyse,
The will to be,
Does not exist in me
Cries ring out,
Pleading for the pain to cease,
I smile and say,
I am here just let your pain,
Wash away,
In my hand I hold the key,
I feel your eyes now your pain embitters me.
Repeat Chorus
Now you see,
These remains of a surplus man,
Who wants me now,
I was once a human too,
No mortal man,
But a helpless wreck who fails to see,
This realm of guilt,
It gives me substance,
Nothing more.
Repeat Chorus
