Human

There have been times throughout my life

When I fell so far

I thought I'd never stand again

I watched my dreams depart

These aberrations had their place

In the grand design

But it's unnatural to feel

So bitter and resigned

Forgive me my mistakes

I'm only human

I bleed just like you

From time to time

So why can't I convince you

I'll be fine

Ignore the writing on the wall

It just decorates

A place that I have lived so long:

Delusion's vast estates

There's nothing sinister at all

Gnawing at my soul

But these confessions that I give

Help me feel in control

Forgive me my mistakes

I'm only human

I bleed just like you

From time to time

So why can't I convince you

I'll be fine

No absolution comes for free

And it never will

And those among us without sin

Are even rarer still

If imperfection is the lens

That you see me through

Don't be surprised if someday soon

That lens stares back at you

Forgive me my mistakes

I'm only human

I bleed just like you

From time to time

So why can't I convince you

I'll be fine
