|
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? |
