The Chain Gang Of 1974 Human Lyrics

[Verse]
40 seconds to midnight
The static mutes the chance to say goodbye
Driving straight towards my silence
The wide-eyed fear just paralyzed my night
Brick by brick, car crash sound
My shaking heart's fading now
Final look, final gasp
I'm traveling through my past

[Chorus]
To my mother, my father
I'm telling you I just don't know why I lied
To my two older brothers
I know I seemed young, but I had the golden eye
To all my past lovers
I did you wrong but please know I tried
In this moment I'm human
Human-human
As I close my eyes

[Verse]
20 seconds to midnight
Well beyond the chance to say goodnight
Shattered glass, time moves fast
The rain is falling on me
Regrets reflect in us all
But I kept moving through it all
Here's to you, all of you
Who showed me how I should breathe
The end, the start, and the fall
But I kept moving through it all

[Chorus]
To my mother, my father
I'm telling you I just don't know why I lied
To my two older brothers
I know I seemed young, but I had the golden eye
To all my past lovers
I did you wrong but please know I tried
In this moment I'm human
Human-human
As I close my eyes

[Outro]
Human-human
Human-human
Human-human
Human-human
