lyrics

Humanity

I got a white angelic skin hiding a black soul underneath
Sunshine in my smile but there’s a storm locked in my cavities
I like to think I stand for good but I keep bad company
I got a feeling I personify humanity

Bring me down
Dethrone me
Disown me

I got a God-given flair for charm and a goddamn knack for grief
I’d change but we all know there’s only two sides to each leaf
And if I’m here to hang and rot, I’m going to poison this whole tree
Damn each twisted branch of your humanity

Bring me down
Dethrone me
Disown me

I’m bound to leave my mark; will it be peace or misery?
Will I choose to love my maker or hang with Mephistopheles?
And with a cold hand on my heart and my fingers crossed behind me
Come judgement day I’ll swear I love humanity

Bring me down
Dethrone me
Disown me

It promises to be as handsome as the man himself. He may have written his own bio. ... more
