Human

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 as 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 seasons never change
 But I'm only human now
 I'm as vacant as a drum
 Won't you tell me I'm allowed
 To be overcome
 I'm moving through your love 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 as 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
 And I'm only human now
 I'm as vacant as a drum
 Won't you tell me I'm allowed
 To be overcome
 To be overcome
 To be overcome
 To be overcome
 To be overcome
 To be overcome
