Human - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I want to go downtown and look some stranger in the face

I want to be myself again, remember why I love this place

I want to wake up now and squeeze the living from this day

I want to believe truly everything's gonna be okay

But I'm only human now

I'm vacant as a drum

Won't you tell me I'm allowed

To be overcome

I want to feel clean, shiny and new

I want to wash myself away til I'm just a mirror before you

I want the glossy sheen of a new leaf in the rain

I want a solid color that the season never change

But I'm only human now

I'm vacant as a drum

Won't you tell me I'm allowеd

To be overcome

I'm moving through your lovе like a paddle in the sand

Pretending that it's water cause I want to be an easy woman

I want to take a swim in some frozen channel to

Remember I was dying when I washed up gratefully over you

But I'm only human now

I'm vacant as a drum

Won't you tell me I'm allowed

To be overcome

I want to make it clear you don't have to speak up to be heard

Sometimes it's even louder to find some quiet in a word

Don't let em change you, kid, that's what somebody said to me

But you know it gets harder to hear myself over all this humanity

But I'm only human now

I'm vacant as a drum

Won't you tell me I'm allowed

To be overcome
