Human Nature

(album: Heart-Shaped Wound - 2017)

It's cold up here
In the space between two worlds
I never believed
I'd watch a fairy tale unfurl
All my life, I relied on logic
But let's give this thing a whirl

It's hard to let go
When you're used to being you
But if you try
You'd be a you you never knew
All my life, I relied on logic
But I got human nature too

And now the sun is streaming in
And it's all because of you
You know it's true
There's no maybe
I hear my father's reasoning
But now my mother is bursting through
She says it's you
Who can save me
I'm falling into a supernova
And that supernova's you
And these feeling's all dead set
To take me over
What else can I do?

I light candles
Incense on the wind
I try to meditate
And read the ancient scrolls
I say it's just like walking
Into a warpcore breach
I try to keep control
I test myself
I try to keep it in
But the computer asks
"How do you feel?"
Just take my pulse
Stupid machine
It's never felt so real
All my life, I relied on logic
But I got human nature too

And now this pain is streaming in
And it's all because of you
You know it's true
There's no maybe
I hear my father's reasoning
But now my mother is bursting through
She says it's you
Who can save me
Falling into a supernova
And that supernova's you
And these feeling's all dead set
To take me over
What else can I do?
