I'm not in pain
Because strength can only be distracted
It is only life that I must be
The good and the bad
Without blood my body would be cold
Without bleeding I wouldn't know I was alive
It stopped when I needed it to
I'm only human anyway

I'm not in pain
Because sorrow is where dignity comes alive
It is only sad that I must be
The feeling that I loved someone
It is so natural to me now
Without your memory I would be alone
Without a past I would not know who I am
It stops only when I die
I'm only human anyway

I'm not in pain
Because walking the streets told me so
It is only empathetic that I must be
I can see you now
Because I heard you speak about hunger
Without you I would laugh too much
Without you I would not know pain
It stops when I close my eyes
I'm only human anyway
