Human - The Chain Gang of 1974

40 seconds to midnight

The static mutes the chance to say goodbye

Driving straight towards my silence

The wide-eyed fear just paralyzed my night

Brick by brick, car crash sound

My shaking heart’s fading now

Final look, final gasp

I’m traveling through my past

To my mother, my father

I’m telling you I just don’t know why I lied

To my two older brothers

I know I seemed young, but I had the golden eye

To all my past lovers

I did you wrong but please know I tried

In this moment I’m human

Human-human

As I close my eyes

20 seconds to midnight

Well beyond the chance to say goodnight

Shattered glass, time moves fast

The rain is falling on me

Regrets reflect in us all

But I kept moving through it all

Here’s to you, all of you

Who showed me how I should breathe

The end, the start, and the fall

But I kept moving through it all

To my mother, my father

I’m telling you I just don’t know why I lied

To my two older brothers

I know I seemed young, but I had the golden eye

To all my past lovers

I did you wrong but please know I tried

In this moment I’m human

Human-human

As I close my eyes

Human-human

Human-human

Human-human

Human-human
