Moments of weakness happen to us all For I am only human Inner demons are real They hid and waited For I am only human Poking and reminding you of the faults, those which are clear and those that have faded For I am only human Pain is a gateway, and the hurt is the door Tears become the vice, cutting off air For I am in despair, I am only human Guilt is the enemy, and you must go toe to toe with it and prevail It may seem like a battle all your own Hindsight steals the love you need to fuel up For I am only human Pressure mounts, and it becomes hard to decipher reality from fiction The gas tank is empty, and I am not sure where to turn Each breath is weaker and weaker Memories flash before your eyes You have failed at one point or another For I am only human Judgment is clouded, fueled by the liquid bully Torn and disturbed, wondering if it's worth it Shortcomings become thorns ripping away at the flesh that has no more feeling Clarity becomes distant and out of reach It seems impossible to look forward For I am only human I, Hurt Cry Bleed Fail Ignore Disguise Fall Destroy Trust Learn Defeat For I am only human

Only Human
Moments of weakness happen to us all For I am only human Inner demons are real They hid and waited For I am only human Poking and reminding you of the faults, those which are clear and those that have faded For I am only human Pain is a gateway, and the hurt is the door Tears become the vice, cutting off air For I am in despair, I am only human Guilt is the enemy, and you must go toe to toe with it and prevail It may seem like a battle all your own Hindsight steals the love you need to fuel up For I am only human Pressure mounts, and it becomes hard to decipher reality from fiction The gas tank is empty, and I am not sure where to turn Each breath is weaker and weaker Memories flash before your eyes You have failed at one point or another For I am only human Judgment is clouded, fueled by the liquid bully Torn and disturbed, wondering if it's worth it Shortcomings become thorns ripping away at the flesh that has no more feeling Clarity becomes distant and out of reach It seems impossible to look forward For I am only human I, Hurt Cry Bleed Fail Ignore Disguise Fall Destroy Trust Learn Defeat For I am only human
