Human Nature

You should be ashamed
For treating your brothers this way
Discard me like a rat in the trash
And take my pride because its all I have

Draw your guns at me
Kill the believer, but not what he believes

You could never take my faith away
I'll take my love and ideals to the grave
You could never take my faith away
Hiding behind your guilt and shame
I will not fade into nothing
I will not waste away with you

We tell each other good night
Just to backstab each other in broad daylight
A thousand times we claim to love
Even when it's not enough

We are but souls bathed in guilt and ruin
Under a loathsome dark influence
Torn and bruised by circumstance
But in the end you had your chance

You had your chance to be more than worthless

You could never take my faith away
I'll take my love and ideals to the grave
You could never take my faith away
Hiding behind your guilt and shame
I will not fade into nothing
I will not waste away with you

Maybe
Just maybe
If we invest in each others time...

These disgusting things that make us human
Will perish from within us
