Human

You push, you demand, you poke your will right through my skin
You lay your worries onto my shoulders and don’t care whether I’m wearing thin
Yes we joke, yes we laugh but you like to take it too far and get me fumin’
Have you forgotten, have you forgotten that I’m only human?

I’m human which means that I care
I’m human which means that I feel
I’m human which means that I dare
That I dare to be real
I fight for more, fight to survive
Fight like you, to be recognised

Your opinions babble out your mouth like fuel hits fire
You want me to listen until my ears bleed, my approval is your desire
You make me watch you stab backs with your dirty knife, crueller than a Roman
But have you forgotten, have you forgotten that I’m only human?

I’m human which means that I care
I’m human which means that I feel
I’m human which means that I dare
That I dare to be real
I fight for more, fight to survive
Fight like you, to be recognised

When have you become so selfish? When have you become so blind?
Am I the one not following or have you just lost your mind?
Does it shock you that I react? Did you think I would play your game?
When have you forgotten that I’m human and you and I ought to be the same?

I’m human which means that I care
I’m human which means that I feel
I’m human which means that I dare
That I dare to be real
I fight for more, fight to survive
Fight like you, to be recognised
