[rev. Aug. 19, 2013]

A thousand powdered parts past the sun and moon
The hint of timelessness splashed on this afternoon
And they tell me I'm inside (you're only human)
But when I run, when I hide
I want to touch you

I think my courage must never leave this room
It's like the history that hides in the monsoon
And they tell me I'm alive (you're only human)
But when I lean into a dive
I want to touch you

At home they think we must be fools
The sky or street, they're both as cruel
When you're running low on fuel
And I ran out books ago
Last night I overheard your prayers
It's emptiness that scares
Disappearing in thin air
To a lost place down below

Once upon a time in a distant land
I felt the rising sun focused through my hands
And they tell me I'm so changed (you're only human)
But if I ever was the same
I want to touch you

At home they think we must be fools
The sky or street, they're both as cruel
When you're running low on fuel
And I ran out books ago
Last night I overheard your prayers
It's emptiness that scares
Disappearing in thin air
To a lost place down below

The action (action) calls me away
The action (action) calls me away
The action (action) calls me away
The action (action) calls me away

(You'll never know!)

(But I'm human)

At home they think we must be fools
The sky or street, they're both as cruel
When you're running low on fuel
And I ran out books ago
Last night I overheard your prayers
It's emptiness that scares
Disappearing in thin air
To a lost place down below
Last night I overheard your prayers
It's emptiness that scares
Disappearing in thin air
To a lost place down below
