Jehnny Beth - Human Lyrics

I used to be a human being
Now I live in the way
Used to center me like the rain
Take what's left of me and my free time

Just take a look at my hands
What can they do now
All these years of hard work
And they can do nothing now

Fear takes over me
What am I doing to change it now
You found a way to measure me
Big, beautiful, and made up

I tried reading books
But that skill eludes me now
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
No, I don't know how

My dreams are filled
With snippets of codes
I spend hours daily
In a panic mode
Am I about to succeed
Am I running behind
My brain is atrophied
My eyes are going blind

I am naked all the time
I am burning inside

I am the voice no-one can hear
I am drifting through the years

I am the ocean
I am the moon
I'm dying far too soon

I am the needle
And I am the oil
I grew handsome too

I am sorry for my mistakes
I will take you
Warm, warm ground
