Aurelio Voltaire Almost Human Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
Anytime 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

[Verse 2]
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 it's like

[Chorus]
I'm just like you
I'm made by He
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
I'm made by He
Despised by they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Pity me
I'm almost a human being

[Verse 3]
I still remember your light And 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

[Chorus]
I'm just like you
I'm made by He
Despised by they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Look at me
I'm almost a human being

These 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

[Outro]
Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the strain
Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
Touch me
Touch me
Touch me
Don't touch me
Touch me
Touch me
