Voltaire - Almost Human Lyrics

What did i ever do to you

that you should treat me this way?

is it really such a crime

for an angel to speak his mind?

in time i'll try to shed some light

if i were a big boy i wouldn't cry

but since i'm not a big boy i'll have to cry



what did I ever do so wrong

that you should cast me from grace

though I love to rule in hell here

how i miss the taste of heaven

its soft and cool embrace

if i were a big boy I wouldn't cry

but since i'm not a big boy

I'll have to close my eyes

and picture what's it's like



I'm just like you

im made by him

despised by they

I'm almost me

I'm nearly human look at me

I'm almost a human being

I'm just like you

made by him

despised by they

I'm almost me

i'm nearly human

pity me I'm almost a human being



I still remember your light

It was streaming down

and burning out my eyes

If I were a big boy i wouldn't cry

but since I'm not a big boy

i'll have to close my eyes

and picture what it's like



I'm just like you

im made by him

despised by they

I'm almost me

I'm nearly human look at me

I'm almost a human being



there tears are real

I'm jealousy I'm spite and hate

to the core I'm mean

I'm nearly human look at me

I'm almost a human being

I'm just like you

better than he

to hell with they

I'm almost me

I'm nearly human

Pity me I'm almost a human being



don't touch me

I couldn't bear the thought of it now

don't touch me

I couldn't bear the strength

don't touch me

I couldn't bear the thought of it now

touch me touch me touch me

don't touch me touch me touch me
