Inhumanism

lyrics

Hold on, waiting on a friend?
Or give up, death is not the end?
You're in the light now, nothing's between us.
I want toes you when you crumble.
I want to kill your chosen one.
Bury his heart out in the desert, because we are one.

Sometimes the beauty's in the hands of a strong man.
I want to be that too.
Crushing under everyone, and everything that's good.
But it makes me wonder.

I'm a man with little pride.
Nothing to burn, nothing to shine.
I'm a man without a tribe, but don't forget I'm human.
Mother with the brilliance of a million suns.
Kin, outer dark, started Earth's run.
You live in a gutter, but still lick soles.
You don't fight, we don't come.
We could make a chant that frees, but you're crawlers, weak crawlers.
I don't need black love.
I want to be human, human.
