Full Human

from Slow Thinker by Noralyn

/

lyrics

If my heart was on display, right now --
every lonely place, every secret vault --
You would be shocked.

If my exterior absorbed my inner mess--
my attitude, and feelings-- the image I reflect, it wouldn't be so sweet.

I call on my allies but I'm misled
Pride and self-pity, they are not my friends/
So I am left here fighting myself
while the person I want to be is collecting dust on the shelf

Oh oh bring me into the open air
Where I can expel this carbon dioxide
I'm choked by pollution I need to purge
Cos I'm so full human na na na na na

Where is purity and innocence?
Where is the peace we long to feel? the fear of God, not men?
Has it all been left.. behind... in Eden ?

There is no prosperity,
There is no warmth under the sun if we cannot be free from
All the demons that stalk, the beast
That keeps beating away, trying to steal our sleep

Bring me into the open air
Where I can expel this carbon dioxide
I'm choked by pollution I need to purge
Because I'm so full human

Show me the light I can't discern
Send the worst of me packing to never return,
I need to believe, there is beauty in being
So full human yeah

Oh I get hurt

by the people around me
And I hurt them in turn
It's kind of disturbing
I forget my common sense, forget my manners, forget thankfulness,
Forget responsibility, forget there are others on this earth

I'm scared by the truth cos it's heavy
and it's tempting to hide in a perpetual fantasy
My brain sips on poison, I say the wrong thing,
Make careless decisions, my errors in ink

Oh If I were a machine,
None of this would be a thing, it wouldn't be a thing
But my flesh, is not a curse, it's a gift:
getting to choose, getting to feel,
And knowing there's meaning being ....

Bring me into the open air
Where I can expel this carbon dioxide
I'm choked by pollution I need to purge
Because I'm so full human

Show me the light I can't discern
Send the worst of me packing to never return,
I need to believe, there is beauty in being
So full human. So full human ah na na na na na
