in the middle of a gun fight
in the center of a resturant
they say, "come with your arms raised high"

well theyre never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your faith in me,
your life will never be the same
on your mothers eyes say a prayer
say a prayer

[Chorus]
now, but i cant
and i dont know how
were just human as god had made us
well i cant, well i cant
too much, too late and just not enough of us
paying more for your dying wish
i kiss your lips again

we lost three of the cards, and the checkers are lost
my cellmate is a killer, he made me do push-ups
well nobody cares if youre losing yourself
am i losing myself? i miss my mom
give me the chair, a lethal injection
a swing from the rope if you dare
but nobody knows, imma drop my soap

[Chorus]
now, well i cant
and i dont know how
were just human as god had made us
well i cant, well i cant
too much, too late and just not enough of us
paying more for your dying wish
i kiss your lips again

to your room
what they ask of you
will make you want to sit
so long
but i dont remember
why remember?

life is but a dream for the dead
and well i, i wont go down by myself
but ill go down with my friends
now now now now. now now now. now now now
