HUMAN FAILURE
I would love to be an Automaton*
because then you’re able to sue your maker
But the complaint forms end up by me!
I look for blame where I came to this world
Yet mother and father were themselves,
only the result of bad parents
It is complicated
I would have boarded up all my doors long ago,
From the guy I was yesterday
Yet I did label myself as nice and likeable earlier
But now I’m sorry
Wasn’t able to think how, other-directed*, angry and loaded I was
But now I hope you all forgive me
Because that’s what’s human, what’s human,
Human failure, ya, ya, ya
I run with a clenched fist through walls
As long as the world isn’t burning, I’ll reach for anything
That keeps afloat
I will paint over my scars with your own
Take responsibility for them and let go of what keeps us under
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
I would have boarded up all my doors long ago,
From the world I saw yesterday
Yet earlier with pain and charge I
electrified myself
But now I’m sorry
Wasn’t able to think how, other-directed, angry and loaded I was
But now I hope you all forgive me
Because that’s what’s human, what’s human,
Human failure, ya, ya, ya
No, I don’t think about it beforehand
And kid myself after the fact
No, I don’t think about it beforehand
And kid myself after the fact
But now I’m sorry
Wasn’t able to think how, other-directed, angry and loaded I was
But now I hope you all forgive me
Because that’s what’s human, what’s human,
Human failure, ya, ya, ya
Automaton* (an automaton is a machine that does something automatically)
Other-directed* (uncommon word, antonym to self-directed.)
