We are human, we are violent
We learn our lessons
Then defy them
We are heartless and immoral
We carry hatred
Like a bible

And there's a hole in my life
There's a blackness inside
That's eating me alive
Leaving me to decide
Do I live with this pain?
As the rain starts to fall from my eyes
Asking myself why

I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It will take what you love like a thief

But in my dreams I believe
We're not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)

We are nothing without failure
But we have chosen ill behavior
With every scar have we learned
Not to heal, but to hurt
We've become something else
Even I cannot tell just why

I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It will take what you love like a thief

But in my dreams I believe
We're not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)

If I fall
If I run
That's when I
Will become
Terrible things

I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It will take what you love like a thief

But in my dreams I believe
We're not these

Look at me and you'll see
I'm not these
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)
