Human Lyrics – FLAVOR FOLEY

[Verse 1]
Power on
Face the blinding skyline in artificial dawn
Withdrawn in simple lexicon
Nothing left but old routines of all you gave to me
Lay bound by programming antique

[Pre-Chorus]
So lonesome, I sleep
And like clockwork, memories repeat in reason
Etiquette in normalcy with only ghosts to see
Yet here I am

[Chorus]
Always waiting
On something I can try to be
Masquerading
I’m only what you make of me
Is that the tempo I’m meant to follow?
With heavy hearts, we play our parts and fall
Is that human after all?

[Verse 2]
Is it wrong?
Every path I follow leads to the same old dawn
So long to binary facade
Fleeting moments dying ‘nеath the starway
Recorded, sprawlеd across the reels of tape
I read all the notes in sequence
But I can’t make out the meaning, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
So lonesome, I weep
And like clockwork, elegies repeat in season
Etiquette in circuitry, connection obsolete
Yet here I weather

[Chorus]
Always waiting
On something I can try to be
Masquerading
As more than just a fantasy
Is that the fate that I emulate?
Oh, to play pretend until the ending calls
Is that human after all?

[Interlude]
May I ask something?
Go ahead
Why are you always looking at the stars?
Why am I always looking at the stars?
Well, I like them, I guess
May I ask something else?
You may
Why do you like the stars?
Haha
That’s a good question

[Bridge]
Every night as the stars align
My weary parts, my rusty heart
Recall to mind of your hand in mine
And the words I often heard said
“If God demands it, then we can’t help it”
A cycle born through pain and scorn
Reaper, sir, don’t you take me yet
While these thoughts fill my head
Could I try?
Could changing leave me gratified?
Even if it’s not what you wanted for my afterlife
If I turned out like you, oh, would you be mad?
Is disapproval what it takes to live again?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Always waiting
On something I can try to be
Masquerading
As something more than anything
Is that the me that I’m meant to be?
Oh, a paragon, my back upon the wall
Is it human to be waiting?
For something you can settle on
Never changing, a dutiful automaton
If that’s the tempo I’m meant to follow
I’ll lose the beat to be complete and fall
I’ll be human after all
