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
