Almost Human

She's the one that you pass by
But never seem to meet,
And the one that always walks
Staring down at her feet
Cause she's counting each step
Between here and home
Cause surrounded by others
She feels alone.

And when she gets there,
She's counting the hours-
(When she gets there)
'Til he brings her flowers-
That aren't there
In vases like towers-
Empty as she is...

Cause she hides away
From the cracks and breaks,
She hides away
From every second it takes,
To breathe again.
And eventually-
From the fractures in her personality-
She'll feel again...
Almost human.

He takes the kids to school,
Does his best as a father-
Between work and home,
There's no time to falter.
When he stares at her picture,
He wonders why-
He keeps on living,
And she had to die.

And why she's not there,
Though she put up a fight-
(And when she's not there)
To kiss him goodnight-
And what's not there,
Try hard as he might-
Empty as he is...

And he hides away
From the cracks and breaks,
He hides away
From every second it takes,
To breathe again.
And eventually-
From the fractures in his personality-
He'll feel again...
Almost human.

They often call me quite contrary
To dwell on pain so
They say it's only temporary
But what do they know?
Oh, isn't it ironic
Isn't it srange
To grow so used to hiding
That I cannot change?

So I hide away
From the cracks and breaks,
I hide away
From every second it takes,
To breathe again.
And eventually-
From the fractures in my personality-
I'll feel again...
Almost human.

We're almost human...
