Getting The Human Out

Juniper Lane


You never go out 
It's too hard to be up 
The smiling makes you tired 
But you tilt your mirror 
And fixes your hair 
For no one else to see 

But you can't stop the question 
That if you weren't so antiseptic 
Would feeling be better than this? 

But go on follow all the rules 
To keep on numbing down the human side 
I know you're looking for a cure 
That you keep trying to get the human out 

Ask the right questions 
To the right people 
And pay them for their answers 
when they stop working 
Find new solutions 
There's one at every turn 

Surely you can find it if you try 
There must be a cure certain and sure 
A cure for all your faults 

Auction your faith to 
the highest bidder 
and follow every word 
Pray to the man who 
turns off the feeling 
You cannot even name
