[Verse 1: Lzzy Hale]
We are human, we are violent
We learn our lessons
Then defy them
We are heartless and immoral
We carry hatred
Like a Bible

[Verse 2: Lzzy Hale]
And there's a hole in my life
There's a blackness inside
That's eating me alive
Leaving me to decide
Do I live with this pain?
As the rain starts to fall
From my eyes
Asking myself why

[Chorus: Lzzy Hale]
I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Terrible things, ah
Terrible things, ah
[Verse 3: Ashley McBryde]
We are nothing without failure
But we've chosen ill behavior
With every scar, we have learned
Not to heal, but to hurt
We've become something else
Even I cannot tell just why

[Chorus: Lzzy Hale & Ashley McBryde]
I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It'll take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Terrible things, ah
Terrible things, ah

[Bridge: Lzzy Haze, Ashley McBryde & Both]
If I fall (If I fall)
If I run (If I run)
That's when I
Will become
Terrible things

[Chorus: Lzzy Haze, Ashley McBryde & Both]
I see terrible things (I see terrible things)
I see a sickness in a world on its knees (A world on its knees)
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams, I believe we're not these
Look at me and you'll see I'm not these
Terrible things, ah
Terrible things, ah
