aretian waltz from arete by arete

though we are ones of the flesh
we are not one of the same
we may eat, breath and sleep the same but
we do not see the same
so why say im only human
when it only causes confusion
and amusements what i feel
when i watch the human kneel
doesnt see the possibility
of what you can be
you never dream, always scream
that youll never be free
from your skin, desires within
then the sin begins to take over your
soul, no control, then youre sucked into a whole
so dark and so empty that theres nowhere left to go
no more happy, no more smiles
only miles and miles
of sadness and of pain
of regrets and disdain

so why say im only human
when i can see past the trees
when all is fake in the forest
humans can never be

to be arete is to eat from a silver plate
control your fate, never wait
for them to take the bait
and hate is what youll feel
when they force you to kneel
accept whats real, close the deal
make you lie, cheat and steal
never heal from the pain that they made you feel
you are slaves to your pain
to all the things that have hurt you
and you in turn force the burn upon others
and believe me i sigh
when i look into your eyes
and see a beast, not a man
who can find peace in a grain of sand
as pigs they shall fall
and as pigs they shall crawl
heed the call of the beast
this flock of sheep
and if humans are animals
then i am a god
and to all of the others
you are not

so why say im only human
when i can see past the trees
when all is fake in the forest
humans can never be
