No Longer Human

No Longer Human

No Longer Human
7-8-06

Wrinkled skin from arms to the face
Right hand severed and as small as a child
I can't imagine if I were in your place
If I were you, would I be able to smile?

No hair on your head
And your nose is gone
Skin mutated and stretched
I can't tell if you%u2019re nine or sixty-one

But nobody seems to hear
And nobody seems to care
They look up with fear
And all they seem to do is stare

If you could talk to me
What would you have to share?
If you could walk with me
Could you take me where
All the emotions have been kept
And the stories I know, have made you wept

Looking at you
You feel no longer human
Looking at you too
I give you my hand

But nobody seems to hear
And nobody seems to care
They look up with fear
And all they seem to do is stare

Looking at you
You feel no longer human
Looking at you too
I give you my hand

And I'll take you to
Where fathers beat their children
Like fucked up fools
And others kill their brothers
So they can get all their money from the dead

But nobody seems to hear
And nobody seems to care
They look up with fear
And all they seem to do is stare

These people may
Look human like me
But if you take their skin away
They cannot bleed

But you are warm and not cold
Underneath your skin
And just to let you know
You are human within

Because underneath your skin
You have a heart and soul
And let me say my friend
You are one of our own
