I thought I heard the horns

Calling for the end of time

But the pages were misplaced and torn

In the revelations of my mind

I wasn’t tryna be a saint

I wasn’t paying for my sins

There was no reason for my pain

No meaning in my suffering

I know I’m strong

I know I’m tougher than

The worst that could go wrong

But I don’t wanna go through it again

They say you go through hell so you can get to heaven

But I just wanna come back down to earth

They say you become an angel when you face your demons

But I just wanna be a human first

I just wanna be a human first

I guess you could call it prayer

When I finally asked for help

But I wasn’t looking for a savior

I just wanted to save myself

I know I’m strong

I know I’m tougher than

The worst that could go wrong

But I don’t wanna go through it again

They say you go through hell so you can get to heaven

But I just wanna come back down to earth

They say you become an angel when you face your demons

But I just wanna be a human first

I just wanna be a human first

I’m no angel

If I am then I am fallen

Cuz when I couldn’t fly

I went back to crawling

Now I’m turning heaven

Upside down

Cuz I just got my feet back on the ground

They say you go through hell so you can get to heaven

But I just wanna come back down to earth

They say you become an angel when you face your demons

But I just wanna be a human first

I just wanna be a human first

I just wanna be a human first
