The Devil Is Human
Father, don’t blame us for trying to live
For trying to love
For wanting more
Father, don’t blame us for trying to bleed
Like real human beings
And nothing more
Why did you dress our pleasure up as greed?
While you’re limiting our life
Taking sunlights from the sea
Why did you give us hearts we don’t understand?
Like an apple in our hand
That you never let us have
And I hear you don’t like it
I don’t care if you don’t
Father, don’t blame us for trying to live
For trying to love
For wanting more
Father, don’t blame us for trying to bleed
Like real human beings
And nothing more
Oh, do you envy how I’m free?
How the life in me is real
Running barefoot through the fields
Oh, does it hurt how I don’t look at you with fear?
Do you like to watch me kneel?
‘Cause the way it makes you feel
And I hear you don’t like it
I don’t care if you don’t
Father, don’t blame us for trying to live
For trying to love
For wanting more
Father, don’t blame us for trying to bleed
Like real human beings
And nothing more
You can burn the skin I live in
But you cannot burn
The witch away
