Learning to Be Human

V6

[Intro — soft, airy, whispered] If human is all that I am… why does it feel like I'm still learning how? Every breath… every mirror… every now… [Verse 1 — slow melodic flow, dreamy delivery] I wake up every morning to a brand new day Breath is the ether and I move on through the day So many thoughts still circling inside my head So many feelings I have never touched or tasted yet Stuck inside a solid dream of pain and old regret Carrying the weight of every word I never said Sometimes the joy bleeds through the cracks instead A flicker through the fog reminding me I'm not dead [Pre-Hook — building, echo-drenched] What does it mean… to be alive? What are these feelings I keep trying to hide? The world is spinning slow inside my mind Every answer wrapped in questions I can't find [Hook — sung, ethereal, layered harmonies] If human is all that I am Why does it feel like I'm learning every day? Learning to be human Finding my way through the weight Learning to be human Still breathing through the pain Learning to be human Again… and again… and again… [Verse 2 — psychedelic rap cadence, introspective] Everything is experience — I feel it in my bones Even when the silence wraps around me and I'm alone Look into the mirror and I ask the questions deep Questions that were never written down for me to read Born from something I could never find in any book Every time I look away I miss what's there to look Feel like I'm already gone but then I realize I'm still here — still standing — still breathing — still alive [Bridge — stripped back, near spoken word, reverb heavy] What am I beneath the flesh and the noise? What remains when I strip away the fear and the poise? I never chose this form — this weight — these eyes But every morning I choose to rise That must mean something… That must mean something… [Hook — sung, ethereal, layered harmonies] If human is all that I am Why does it feel like I'm learning every day? Learning to be human Finding my way through the weight Learning to be human Still breathing through the pain Learning to be human Again… and again… and again… [Outro — fading, dreamlike, half-sung half-spoken] Breath is the ether… And I move on through the day… Solid dream dissolving… Learning what it means to stay… I look into the mirror… And I finally start to say… Maybe this is human… Maybe this is okay…
