All The Human Things

are you in love with all the human things
the concepts born and thrown away
do you insist despite your eyes
there's something that I want you to say

don't stay if it's for my sake
don't wake up if you'd rather die
don't lie to yourself and pretend you don't see
don't be anything for me

this is the only chance you'll ever have
to bring the world down with your voice
don't stand still to watch the clouds part
they will close if you are silent

did you ever have goals
did you ever have dreams
tell me, was there a time you had and end to your means
it just seems so fucking sad
how you ended this way
content to be nothing
born to betray your dreams

your light is burning out
close your eyes
it won't be long
I once told you to hold on
now I realize I was wrong

give up

are you in love with all the human things
the tangible, trivial days
do you insist despite your heart
there is something that I didn't say

did you ever have goals
did you ever have dreams
tell me, was there a time you had and end to your means
it just seems so fucking sad
how you ended this way
content to be nothing
born to betray your dreams

your light is burning out
close your eyes
it won't be long
I once told you to be strong
now I realize I was wrong

give up
