    How is it being human?
    Settled comft in your place, your pedestal,
    looking down on beings below,
    thriving on the suffering of the abnormal.
    
    How is it being human? 
    Where emotions and reactions are praised,
    no real wrong ever done,
    all made right saying, "I prayed."
    
    What's it like being human?
    The top of the chain.
    Are you cruel enough to look?

    How is it being human?
    A pawn by your own species,

    For I am a monster you see.
    Marked by the serpent, labeled evil,
    and that's all I can ever be.
