The Devil Is Human Lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Why did you dress our pleasure up as greed?
While you're limiting our love, taking sunlight from the seed?
Why did you give us hearts we don't understand
Like an apple in our hand that you'll never let us have?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear you don't like it
I don't care if you don't

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, do you еnvy how I'm free?
How the life in me is rеal, 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?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear you don't like it
I don't care if you don't

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
You can burn the skin I live in
But you cannot burn the witch away

What did AURORA say about "The Devil Is Human"?

AURORA said via Instagram

We get sexualised by the world, and yet shamed for being sexual. They want to possess you and own you, and even decide what you get to do with your own body. We are not free until all of us are free. The world have tried for many years to burn women who were strong, who were brilliant, brave and free spirited. The devil is human, or apparently the devil is a woman. You can burn the skin we live in, but you cannot burn the witch away. #ourbodyourchoice.
