There have been times throughout my life    When I fell so far   I thought I'd never stand again    I watched my dreams depart      These aberrations had their place   In the grand design    But it's unnatural to feel   So bitter and resigned       Forgive me my mistakes    I'm only human    I bleed just like you    From time to time    So why can't I convince you    I'll be fine?       Ignore the writing on the wall   It just decorates    A place that I have lived so long:    Delusion's vast estates          There's nothing sinister at all    Gnawing at my soul    But these confessions that I give    Help me feel in control       Forgive me my mistakes    I'm only human    I bleed just like you    From time to time    So why can't I convince you    I'll be fine?       No absolution comes for free    And it never will   And those among us without sin   Are even rarer still       If imperfection is the lens    That you see me through    Don't be surprised if someday soon   That lens stares back at you       Forgive me my mistakes    I'm only human    I bleed just like you    From time to time    So why can't I convince you    I'll be fine?
