Terribly Human

I’m so terribly human 

most times i let my fears win

and there are truths, right things to do

but don’t 

heavyweight at waiting and doing nothing to change 

answers way in the deep end i depend instead

on the compensation of complaint

pretend it all glows the same 

angels with

hallogen halos 

evil, i can be 

careless, constantly 

mean, pure mean 

poison ripping out of me 

then take some sort of contorted pride

in an honest guilty plea

I can’t hold a hand  

not as well as i can hold a grudge 

can’t kiss your lips and mean it 

Less’ it’s the last it can be done 

can’t hold you close 

not as close as the things that aren’t your fault 

use them against you

as an easy way out 

evil, i can be 

spineless, constantly 

mean, pure mean, 

poison ripping out of me, 

take some sort of contorted pride

in an honest guilty plea

it all reverberates 

and it all glows the same
