Only Human Lyrics

[Verse 1: AJ Channer]
Here you go lying again
Thinking you’re perfect
That you’re holier than thou again
Like you don't make mistakes
But aren't we just human?
You see my halo nah
Cause use I'm just like you man
I'm just you man
I talk my talk I walk my walk
And I could fall but I stand tall
I could be knocked down come back and burn them all
What you think, I'm supposed to fit this perfect reality
Of this picture that you made up in your mind about me

[Pre-Chorus: Matty Mullins, (AJ Channer)]
I’m not perfect like you
So if you think that you could do better why don’t you
(Look in the mirror if you’ve got something to prove)

[Chorus: Matty Mullins]
I know you wish that I was different
I’ll never fit inside the mold you created
You’ll never know what I’ve been up against
I’m not another one of your fabrications
Your innocence is ignorance
We’re all the same but you blame like you’re sacred
I know you wish that I was different
But I’m only human
[Verse 2: AJ Channer]
Try to murder man
Cancel your feelings and just think with your mind again
I'm back alive again
Broke the code with a couple foul words I know
But we ain't owed
Just want to let you know
There's no exemptions on the road to redemption

[Pre-Chorus: Matty Mullins]
So just in case you didn’t hear me the first time
I’m not perfect like you
So, if you think that you could do better why don’t you

[Refrain: Matty Mullins]
I know you wish that I was different
(I’ll never fit inside the mold you created)
You’ll never know what I’ve been up against
(I’m not another one of your fabrications)

[Chorus: Matty Mullins]
I know you wish that I was different
I’ll never fit inside the mold you created
You’ll never know what I’ve been up against
I’m not another one of your fabrications
Your innocence is ignorance
We’re all the same but you blame like you’re sacred
I know you wish that I was different
But I’m only human
[Bridge: Matty Mullins]
To whom it may concern I’ll leave the names out
Heavy is the head that wears the false crown
Heavy is the head
Heavy is the head that wears the false crown

[Chorus: Matty Mullins]
I know you wish that I was different
I’ll never fit inside the mold you created
You’ll never know what I’ve been up against
I’m not another one of your fabrications
Your innocence is ignorance
We’re all the same but you blame like you’re sacred
I know you wish that I was different
But I’m only human
