Lyrics

Human

I'm human

I'm human

[Refrain] x2

I'm human inside, a hunter in chase

I'm an exile, searching for the right place

Comfort me in words that matter

Please censor to me

Explanations always matter

The sense gets in to me

I've been thinking, contemplating

Words filter through

Dig you deep, I'm excavating

To see how you view me

[Refrain] x2

Searching for the right place

Comfort me in tones that matter

Just give me something

Apologies and all that chatter

That's just the wrong thing

Let's crack this ice on which we're skating

[Refrain] x2

I'm human

[Refrain]

Human

I'm human

I'm human

[Refrain]

Yeah, I'm human

[Refrain]
