They're Only Human

Look at how they crawl around
Upon the ground
Like little ants.

Yes, but how they fascinate
Confusing fate
With what is merely chance.

Isn't it a laugh?
Isn't it a shame?
Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame.

Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead
They hope for the lives that they need
Living every day ‘til the day they die
Never getting answers.

Yet still asking why
Going through the motions as if there will be a reward
While we stay eternally bored!

They're only human
They don't see
Who they are is who they'll always be
Only human, after all.

So they push and they shove
With this thing they call love
‘Til they fall!
Isn't it a farce?
Isn't it a waste?

Struggling to face what can never be faced
Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share
I really don't know and don't care.

They're only human
Standing still
Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill
Only human, after all.

So they give and they take
Hoping someone will help break their fall
They will pray, curse, live, die
Never knowing their truth is another man's lie.

Eat, sleep, love, hate
Like a leaf blowing in the wind
Watch them all vacillate!
They're only human
They can't see
All the years they could give you and me
Only human, after all
So they give and we take
‘Til their silly hearts break.

Looking down from above
I'm intrigued by their love
So let's call!
Hmmm, let's call!
