Only Human Lyrics

I'm tired and self-assured

I'm living life inspired

But that's a poor man's joke

To think things can't go up in smoke

When I'm jealous of some of the things that I see

The more social the media, the bigger the schemes

The grass is much greener than everyone's dreams

But does anyone see how we burst at the seams

Striving to thrive, cuz thrive means survival

Checking our pulse for a new age revival

Lets stop attempting to write our own Bible

We're liable to put all our faith to our idols

Like: work, hustle, move the muscle

Double and double the toil and trouble and

Nothing goes wrong if you can just shuffle it

Under the rug and nobody touches it

Mentally well or trembling gently

The pills on my shelf more than half empty

Meant only well, but time is a temptress

Moving so fast, I'm caught in the spin drift

I see what's happening now

We fight for a crown

That will weigh us down

After all

We're only human

Only human, anyway

I could turn left or I could turn right

But I should be turning when I see the light

Burning, churning my spirit

but that's not enough

I am not trying to butter you up

But we have a purpose that's greater than us

We have a light that's filling us up

If we find a switch that is rooted in love

It will chase out the darkness

Not cover it up

Lift brothers, sisters, others

Everyone come in the huddle

To figure it out

Loud in the spaces that we occupy

You see the faces that we're graced with

Are just faces that are laced with

All the stories and the places

Some are hateful

Some are gracious

Beauty and pain

Come from the same veins

Some come from the same name

The love and the hate

After all, we're only human

Only human, anyway
