Let me be human tonight
Only in my head
Only for your eyes
Let me be human tonight
These manic prayers
Bring tears to my eyes
The air smells like metal.
I can’t tell if it’s blood or the sky.
We’re bound to be saints
At the gate of all gates
But I can’t feel your heartbeat.
I can’t feel your heartbeat.
Take my head away from me
Chop it off and set it free.
Thoughts run wild like calligraphy
Thoughts run wild like calligraphy
Let me be human tonight
These feelings are holy
These memories are mine
Let me be human tonight
You hold on to my darkness
I’ll hold on to your light
The air smells like metal.
I can’t tell if it’s your blood or if it's mine.
We’re bound to be saints
At the gate of all gates
But I can’t feel your heartbeat.
I can’t feel your heartbeat.
I can’t feel your heartbeat
I can’t feel your heartbeat
I can’t feel your heartbeat
I can’t feel your heartbeat
I can’t feel your heartbeat
I can’t feel your heartbeat
I can’t feel your heartbeat
I can’t feel your heartbeat
So let me be human tonight.
