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?
