The Human Stain
See the cemetery sky
Carmine red and deep
Watch the oceans rising high
Its the human stain
Talk about the growing hunger
Ask why with deep concerned
Dont you think the human races
Is ceaselessly vain
But it hurts to be
Alive my friend
In this silent tide
Were driftwood passing by
Dont you wish you
Were a child again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute more
Hear the ticking of a clock
The sound of life itself
No one really wants to die
To save the world
Tell me that youre torn asunder
From how we fail to learn
And tell me if the Earth goes under
Wheres your anger now
So it hurts to
Be alive, my friend
In this masquerade where
All one day must die
Dont you wish you
Were unborn again
Just for a minute
Just for a minute more
Solo
Tic-Toc
The ticking at the tear asunder
The beating from a heart of stone
The loss of your divine prosperity
Cause it costs to
Be alive, my friend
And this life that someone
Merely gave to you
Thats the price you take
Minute by minute
You beg for a minute more
