Human

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?
