Human Lyrics

There have been times throughout my life 

When I fell so far

I thought I'd never stand again 

I watched my dreams depart



These aberrations had their place

In the grand design 

But it's unnatural to feel

So bitter and resigned 



Forgive me my mistakes 

I'm only human 

I bleed just like you 

From time to time 

So why can't I convince you 

I'll be fine? 



Ignore the writing on the wall

It just decorates 

A place that I have lived so long: 

Delusion's vast estates 

There's nothing sinister at all 

Gnawing at my soul 

But these confessions that I give 

Help me feel in control 



Forgive me my mistakes 

I'm only human 

I bleed just like you 

From time to time 

So why can't I convince you 

I'll be fine? 



No absolution comes for free 

And it never will

And those among us without sin

Are even rarer still 



If imperfection is the lens 

That you see me through 

Don't be surprised if someday soon

That lens stares back at you 



Forgive me my mistakes 

I'm only human 

I bleed just like you 

From time to time 

So why can't I convince you 

I'll be fine?
