Not Human Anymore

The more we fear, the more we hide

Our true expression, our soul's collide

Are we merely us, or one of them?

Do we build our future, or just condemn?

Needles that hide the lines

Faces that hide the smiles

In keeping an open mind

Have we lost a part of ourselves… lost a part of ourselves?

Flickering images, ghostly vision

Connect the dots, share the bandwidth

Expressionless faces, clinical traces

Harder to read but impossible to know

Needles that hide the lines

Faces that hide the smiles

In keeping an open mind

Have we lost a part of ourselves…lost a part of ourselves?

What sets us apart from the animals

Is what sets us apart from ourselves

Pure thought and reason

A life without meaning

Aware we're alive but not living

Like the lamb lies down to slaughter

Or a lion's fearsome roar

Consumed by inner demons

Cauterizing feelings

Or do we let our spirits soar?

Needles can't hide the lines

Faces can't hide the smiles

In keeping an open mind

Have we lost a part of ourselves…have we lost a part of ourselves?
