Slowly Dying

You say you hold all empathy for the world
And it's breaking down your system
You say they said life isn't worth living
Why not just live it to prove them wrong?
Look at you, just a human being crying
You wonder are you still alive, or are you slowly dying

You say they cast you out for the curses you wear
And all your institutions are going down
But you keep bathing in hollowed ignorance
Inside the shadows of everyone's minds
Look at you, just a human being lying
You wonder are you still alive, or are you slowly dying

You say the caressing of the man is holding you away
And all you earned has just been dumb luck
And you keep starring into the fading sun
Thinking if you're lucky you'll see someone
Look at you, just a human being sighing
You wonder are you still alive, or are you slowly dying

You say salvation comes from above
And I am doomed to fall so far
But you have never have stopped to think
To think of what have you become
Look at you, just a human being trying
You wonder are you still alive, or are you slowly dying

You talk into the phone, into a dial tone
You go so far to show yourself you're not alone
And you keep coming back to a place
Of ruined pathways and colorful vagabonds
Look at you, just a human being denying
You wonder are you still alive, or are you slowly dying
