Can you hold your breath?

It makes me bite my tongue

I have stayed awake for days

Because that's what they want

I'm the number one

Wanted criminal

I don't have to fake a laugh

As I dance and play the part

Since that's what is asked

That is all I am


I can do it

I have done it

I will do it


'Cause I'm barely human

People bleed when they fall down

I'm barely human

Lives will crash and soon break down

Dust in your bones, knife in your heart

Build yourself up and I'll tear you apart

'Cause I'm barely human


I can't turn it off

I'm not yet a machine

I have seen between the worlds

I know what I need-

I need everything


I can do it

I will do it

I'll get through it


'Cause I'm more than human

Others bleed when they fall down

I'm more than human

Your life will crash and soon break down

Dust in your bones, knife in your heart

Build yourself up and I'll tear you apart

'Cause I'm more than human


I'm barely human

I'm more than human

Just a little human

Left inside of me

Life is not enough


I'm no longer human

I find I bleed when I fall down

No longer human

I crashed and I broke down

Dust in my bones, knife in my heart

Built myself up and then I fell apart

I'm no longer human
