Lyrics Human - The Chain Gang of 1974

Human

40 seconds to midnight
The static mutes the chance to say goodbye
Driving straight towards my silence
The wide-eyed fear just paralyzed my night
Brick by brick, car crash sound
My shaking heart’s fading now
Final look, final gasp
I’m traveling through my past
To my mother, my father
I’m telling you I just don’t know why I lied
To my two older brothers
I know I seemed young, but I had the golden eye
To all my past lovers
I did you wrong but please know I tried
In this moment I’m human
Human-human
As I close my eyes
20 seconds to midnight
Well beyond the chance to say goodnight
Shattered glass, time moves fast
The rain is falling on me
Regrets reflect in us all
But I kept moving through it all
Here’s to you, all of you
Who showed me how I should breathe
The end, the start, and the fall
But I kept moving through it all
To my mother, my father
I’m telling you I just don’t know why I lied
To my two older brothers
I know I seemed young, but I had the golden eye
To all my past lovers
I did you wrong but please know I tried
In this moment I’m human
Human-human
As I close my eyes
Human-human
Human-human
Human-human
Human-human
