I can't reach your human
I hear your words
I feel the desire
I understand, but
I can't reach your soul
It's a pity I can't look into people's eyes
Maybe thats where your human lies
Your holding me is all I look forward to
for the words you speak I've heard before
I hate making you repeat yourself but
there's really no need to keep explaining yourself
I find it hard to explain that its not at all that I'm not understanding
It's that I'm not reaching
I can't see your walls when I'm behind mine
And I'm not letting mine fall until I see you inside
Show me behind the privileges, what did you suffer
Flip your red healthy heart to the other side, who bruised it?
I'm hungry for your sorrows
Feed me your worries, insecurities and impurities
Show me all your imperfections
Baby, I'm nothing without your hurt, your loneliness
I'm useless without your I-Hate-The-World views
My healing nature craves your broken soul
Let me touch it
Let me heal it
Let me see you grow back to who you were when your mother
held you in her arms for the first time
I need YOU to show me
your authenticity
your soul
I need you to show me
your human
