A thousand powdered parts
Past the sun and moon
The hint of timelessness splashed
On this afternoon
And they tell me I'm inside (you're only human)
But when I run, when I hide
I want to touch you
I think my courage must
Never leave this room
It's like the history that
Hides in the monsoon
And they tell me I'm alive (you're only human)
But when I lean into a dive
I want to touch you
At home they think we must be fools
The sky or street, they're both as cruel
When you're running low on fuel
And I ran out books ago
Last night I overheard your prayers
It's emptiness that scares
Disappearing in thin air
To a lost place down below
Once upon a time
In a distant land
I felt the rising sun
Focused through my hand
And they tell me I'm so changed (you're only human)
But if I ever was the same
I want to touch you
The action calls me away
Past the sun and moon
The hint of timelessness splashed
On this afternoon
And they tell me I'm inside (you're only human)
But when I run, when I hide
I want to touch you
I think my courage must
Never leave this room
It's like the history that
Hides in the monsoon
And they tell me I'm alive (you're only human)
But when I lean into a dive
I want to touch you
At home they think we must be fools
The sky or street, they're both as cruel
When you're running low on fuel
And I ran out books ago
Last night I overheard your prayers
It's emptiness that scares
Disappearing in thin air
To a lost place down below
Once upon a time
In a distant land
I felt the rising sun
Focused through my hand
And they tell me I'm so changed (you're only human)
But if I ever was the same
I want to touch you
The action calls me away
