Human
By Shadow lost to the light
My face screaming rock and roll while my heart
sings the blues.
My temper is only getting
shorter like a lit fuse.
I'm tired of sitting back
all dazed and confused.
Trying so
hard to keep up this ruse.
Always laughing but never been farther
from amused.
Sitting innocent but always being
labeled the accused.
Well they need to step off and go back to sucking where their mamas milk
spews.
Because I already walked a mile and my feet were too big for
their shoes.
I already solved their mysteries and I didn't
even need any clues.
I hope you see this isn't just one
of my many moods.
I hope you see not the mask but
the things it eludes.
I hope you see the smile but not
the bottles of booze.
I'm a paradox walking until
it's my mind I loose.
I'm a hypocrite talking
until its a side I choose.
I'm a sinner struggling
until I pay off my dues.
I'm an empty vessel until something
inside me moves.
I'm a written off thought until
its the truth it proves.
I'm just like you, another human until it's this
life that concludes.

line 9, 13 and 14 and every other line is just brilliant. It describes us in a way that i believe almost everyone can relate to. Just great!
