Can I just decide what makes me real?
If it's not the skin, am I human 'cause I feel inside?
Or are we angels that have shed the wings along our spines,

Stuck beginning again, now how should I feel about that?

Can I reclaim all my humanity

Embracing the façade of what I'd rather be?
So mundane is all this profanity...
Cleanse me of my humanity.


Should I get ahead and stick it through
Until the weak are dead?

Until the weak are gone... yes son.
Not a tear gets shed - compassion's through
Until our brother's dead.

Until our brother's gone...

Say, "Nothing but what we desire here".

'Til you're standing above your empire,
Leaving the rest of them.
But hold on, stay strong where you belong.


As I reclaim all my humanity
I'm embracing the façade of who I'd rather be.

So mundane is all this profanity.
Take me to my...


Nothing but what I desire here
'Til I'm sharing with you my empire
No, it doesn't have to end.

So hold on, stay strong.
Trust not what they've said.
We can feel humane about it.

Never believe in the liars,
That are running around your head.
No we're not the same,

But I'm burning with you in the fire.

"Nothing but what we desire here",

'Til you're standing above your empire,
Leaving the rest of them.
But hold on, stay strong where you belong.


I will reclaim all my humanity,
I'm facing the mirage of who I'd rather be.

It's insane all your profanity.
Leave me with my humanity.
