When People Become Numbers Lyrics by Drowningman

Rock and Roll Killing Machine

2000

Sometimes our fingers speak louder than words
Aggravates illness and passes through spit
I can see right through the back of your head clearly
It's right, it's wrong, it's right
Maybe it's wrong, it can't be right
Dear God, I think they're right
How long before this dies?
We'll count the numbers, we'll just forget
We've learned to fail, embraced regret
That's not an honest answer and we don't wish it was
Sharpened sticks, passing hands, aimed at hearts passing through
Straight through my heart
Pass my way
Straight through my heart
Pass my way
Straight through my heart
Sometimes our fingers speak louder than words
Sometimes these wires pass right through the nerves
If my heart swelled from my chest do you feed it glass or another kiss?
We'll go on for days, for months
For years forever
You'll break my heart
If we count on each other over someone else's shoulder
The way we do when people become numbers
Am I a one, a two, a three, four
Five or six, seven or an eight?
