I'M HUMAN

you know
sometimes I care
but sometimes I just don't
guess it is what it is
people skills ain't a gift of mine
so say
oh say what it is
I'm not perfect
and neither is anybody
yet I still feel like an outcast
of the outcast
wish I could figure it out
probably wouldn't like the answer anyway

yeah, hate me
hate me
I'M HUMAN
take me
break me
I'M HUMAN
pull up my hopes and dreams
drop them till they shatter
look me in the eyes
tell me why I don't matter

you know
sometimes I care
but then
I get someone
takes what I give
stabs me in the back
then takes the rest of what I have
guess I'll never figure it out
don't know
fuck no
what the fuck is it all about?
if you're too kind you get used up
if you're a prick you get used up
the human race I have lost

yeah, hate me
hate me
I'M HUMAN
take me
eliminate me
I'M HUMAN
pull down my accomplishments
drop them till they shatter
look me in the eyes
tell me why the fuck it matters

I wake up
I'm shook up
too lost
never found
can't pick myself
off the ground
these thoughts repeat like groundhogs day
too late to ever be saved
some people got "it"
but still want my shit
everyone's so selfish
can't think of anything else
but themselves
that's why I can't stand these scum
how am I supposed to get along?
fucking maggots of the earth
I'm just cursed
was raised to be who I am
while everyone fakes it till they make it
guess I got the short end of the straw
