human

have you ever wanted something you could not have?
you'd do just about anything to have this thing within your grasp.
i know i have. i know i have.

have you ever felt like a fake when you smile?
you don't want to wake up cause every truth seems like a lie.
i know i have. i know i have.

and all i want is for someone to tell me i'm normal.
cause i'm fitfully sleeping. and i can't stand to be so formal.
oh god make it stop before this becomes my undoing.
or just get rid of me now. cause i'm so tired of being human.

have you ever wanted to just give it all up?
trade your beliefs in for a life where you'd run amok.
i know i have. i know i have.

and have you ever wanted something more?
something that shakes the very core of who you are?
and do you find it harder and harder every day
to live with yourself?
maybe you've never felt that way.

but all i want is for someone to tell me i'm normal.
cause i'm fitfully sleeping. and i can't stand to be so formal.
oh god make it stop before this becomes my undoing.
or just get rid of me now. cause i'm so tired of being human.

oh, just get rid of me now.
this fragile mess getting weaker by the hour.
now that i've confessed i just want to regress into the comforting shadows.
i just want to be alone before they start throwing stones or dragging me to the gallows.

all i want is for you to pick me up and take me home.
cause i'm fitfully sleeping. and i'm so tired of being human.
