Human

lyrics

Human, behave yourself, you have burst at the seams
Let it all flow out, open your mouth
Often I lie wide awake, think of things I can make
But I don’t seem to have the parts to build them

Human, I wonder why you’re a better make than I
could ever build or create, you know not love or hate
I’m so scared of what will kill me in the end
For I am not prepared

I hope I will get the chance to be someone
To be human
Look what we’ve done
Look what we’ve done

I would give my life
To be human
I would give my life
To be human

Human, I’m trying to come clean, I will be a better me
I will not drink until I’m dead, I’ll make the most of it
I don’t know what it’s like to be alive, to say goodbye
To cry a thousand times, because my ears won’t listen

Human I’m trying not to lose my faith in you
I’ve sussed out all that I’ve seen through
I’ve sailed an ocean
I am so scared of what I’ll look like in the end
For I am not prepared

I hope I will get the chance to be someone
To be human
Look what we’ve done
Look what we’ve done

I would give my life
To be human
I would give my life
To be human

I used to hear it all so loud, the sound of my heart breaking
The truth is waiting to be found, I trust that I will take it

I would give my life
To be human

De muziek ademt een liefde voor het nachtelijke en de naakte waarheid. Hoop, eenzaamheid en verlangen worden ontbloot met zowel grote kwetsbaarheid als kracht. Geïnspireerd door o.a. Lykke Li en Kate Bush nemen ze je op eigen wijze mee. ... more
