Human!

Sometimes, I can't recognize the boy in the mirror
And I get scared I may never recognize him again
Sometimes, my floating feet sink right through the bed
And I wake up not knowing where I've been

Are you more scared of the things in this world
Or the things inside your brain?
Do you find moments of relief before the bad
Thoughts kick back in?

Take my hand 'cause

As long as I'm human
You'll never be alone
Our interiors are never born cold
I'll always be human
You'll never be alone
Nothing will take this from us
No, no, no, no

It's stupid and childish
But I still run out of breath chasing the days
When Ian was still around
Sleeping on his floor was well worth the back pain
Waking up without a sense of fleeting time
Now our friend group has grown up and grown apart
And it grows harder to fall asleep at night
How do you feel fulfilled?
When the better days seem just out of reach
And you spend all your time arms stretched, failing to grasp them
When you can't tell if your pills and therapy sessions are working
And thinking about them for too long reminds you
That there were times when it seems you didn't need them at all

As long as I'm human
You'll never be alone
Our interiors are never born cold
I'll always be human
You'll never be alone
Nothing will take this from us
No, no, no, no

I'm learning to take solace in the fact
That though it may not be as immediate as I like
I'll get better
I just need to focus on taking deep breaths in
Deep breaths out
Unclenching my jaw
And letting go

As long as I'm human
You'll never be alone
Our interiors are never born cold
I'll always be human
You'll never be alone
Nothing will take this from us
No, no, no, no
