Being Human is an Excuse


Being Human is an Excuse

I look upon the devastation

Fires rage on 

We breathe the air of death

Forging a bridge with pride and dignity

Hoping to blame just one thing, us

Each day we screamed because it was a matter of our eternity but it wasn’t really

Hope was not a phoenix

Unsatisfied and feeding into evil the beast was unleashed

Never born but unleashed

Using we are only human as an excuse

More like we're animals hidden

Mistakes are fine dents 

War is tilting to the end of the world

If it isn’t here already we should sit and wait

For we are the architects of our destruction

Building a wall of hatred

But we still bleed

Chaos is human

Chaos is what happened when the angel fell in love with the demon

Being human is an excuse to rule and be powerful

So choose opinions carefully

For we just opened pandora’s box
