Human Error Lyrics

I saw four horses; they were coming around the mountain

I saw four horses; they were coming around the bend

I saw a pale horse walking by my bedroom window

I was puking out my guts as frogs rained on the roof all night long

The greedy beasts, they live in houses on the water

A respite from the cold, sleeping on their beds of gold

They sealed the kingdom closed so many years ago

No one remembers what it was like

And no one noticed we were driving into darkness

We were laughing at the thunder as the sky was turning red

And no one noticed the ever-encroaching silence

We were praying to an empty throne

But that's just human error, to think that we're supposed to be here

To take credit for something that was never meant to be

Well, tell that to the animals sleeping under porches

Dying under tires and eating our garbage to survive

I wear a heavy crown of doubt

I hold my tongue; they would cut it out

At this rate, how long can we really stay alive anyways?

So, sing a tune for mother death and father time

I mean, it's really not that I don't care

I just wish I didn't care
