To Be Human

Wishful thinking's a bad religion
Thoughts and prayers don't help no one
Hugs and kisses are swings and misses
You're not fooling anyone
Empty words with no real action
From a distance we stay numb
Let's just go through all the motions
Just enough to seem human

And every time we convince ourselves
We know what it's like to be someone else
The world falls deeper into pain
And ever closer to the grave

We're plugged in but disconnected
Auto pilot confusion
Melodramatic attention addicts
Speaking up for everyone
Just enough to seem human

And every time we convince ourselves
We know what it's like to be someone else
The world falls deeper into pain
And ever closer to the grave

To the grave
To the grave
To the grave
Let's make our actions more than just some words
Open up your heart when somebody hurts
Live your lives in such a way you are the change
You want in this world

And every time we convince ourselves
We know what it's like to be someone else
The world falls deeper into pain
And ever closer to the grave
