Sometimes I forget that I'm human
It often feels like I'm made out of stone
I hide my feelings in a bottle labeled "POISON"
Hoping everyone will then leave it alone


I had long since forgotten being a child
How I could make the world what I wanted to see
And I'd let my imagination run so wild
Because my real life was no safe place to be

My head has always been much like this planet
It's mostly water, but it holds secrets, too
And at the same time that it's lovely, I can't stand it
Things are often out of place, and quite askew

But I was reminded today that I'm still human
That I have a heart that longs for innocence
But I can't remember when I even had some
I'm pretty sure that most of it's been spent

At least I know a heart still lives inside me
Even if it's shriveled up and hardly beats
But it's still pumping my blood, leaving me human
As my memories leave footprints on the streets
