Only Human

[Verse 1]

It's only human to despise the weak

It's only human to despise yourself when you're weak

I don't know why

But that's the way that it's always been

And I play by the rules I don't understand at all

[Verse 2]

It's only human to be lazy and vain

It's only human to expect a world that's just as vain

Oh, I don't know why

I want to believe that it's not that way

But I'm johnny-come-lately, it's not my place to say

[Pre-Chorus]

There's no escape, tell me why do they try so hard?

[Chorus 1]

And I pretend that I'm invincible

That I can go it all alone

But I'm only human, trying to get by

And praying to heaven I might find out

Why am I human, mere flesh and blood

Afraid to go on without someone to hold me up

[Verse 3]

It's just a human thing to fear the unknown

But isn't it a tragic thing to live and die alone
