When We Were Human Lyrics by Raine Wilder

When We Were Human

2017

Step in my mind
Walk thru the fire
What was a spark
Grew to burning desire
Now theres a flame in my brain
That I can not contain
And it's burning to keep me inspired
They try to extinguish
By holding hoses
They must be high
Putting coke up their noses
They die and they choke
Like some unwatered roses
Dried up inside
Now they casket is closing
I'm feeling I'm chosen
Like I've just risen
My name ain't Jesus
My faith is a given
I ain't about wasting my days in a prison
You're more than tripping
Like you're candy flipping
I am a Christian
No Im not perfect
Was born in to sin
Wasn't born of a virgin
I fit the description of criminals perfect
Tattoos on my skin
They're surprised that I'm working
I got a mortgage
And copped me a couch
Bought me a new car
Put it all in my house
Boy I Got loans out the ass
That's no doubt
Knowing I owe all that cash
Stress me out
That's for my daughter
My son and my girl
Traded my Doberman in for that world
Some times in this world gotta choose
Either way that time I felt I was gonna lose
When we were human
We used to look each other in our face when we were human
We used to look each other in our face now we're staring down at our hands
When we were human
When we were human
We used to look each other in our face when we were human
Now we're staring down at our hands
Picked all the locks
Broke all the chains
What was a thought
Has escaped from my brain
Some moments got lost
So I'm afraid
I can't recall if my words caused pain
I lost control
Kicked in the door
Almost let myself push love to the floor
Sometimes I don't notice my face anymore
When I look in mirror its a stranger for sure
Removing that mask
What do I say?
I've put up a wall
So I don't face the change
I've put up a fence
Made love hard to embrace
I've blocked out my feelings
Emotions erased
Sorry I run
Sorry I hide
Sorry I'm good at them both
I've had time
To practice my walk
And perfect my stride
Playing the role
Like I'm acting full time
So this is the stage
And you're the front row
The only one in the whole crowd
That I know
That keeps me together the times I explode
The beginning & ending of every show
In every city, in every life
Your scars are the proof
Your hands freeze time
Your hands are the proof
I'm not worthy but I
Will testify
Because he had died
There on the cross
For all of my sins
Before I was lost
Now I know where to begin
Begin with a thought
Second, a word
Now clearly I see
Before it was blurred
That you are not death
You are the birth
The alpha omega
The heart of the church
The tip of the Thorne
That pokes in my side
Every time I'm questioning myself why?
Why am I here?
What is my purpose
What do I fear
Why am I worthy
We're all separated
We need a union
More love and less hating
Back to when we were human
