Human Life

(Verse 1)

Born into ticking

White walls

Soft light

Names on a clipboard

You just say “Hi”

Hands that are shaking

Learning your size

First breath is laughter

Second is “why”

(Chorus)

Human life

All these tiny moving parts

Human life

Wearing skin over the dark

You go to work

You fall in love

You lose your mind

You call it luck

Human life

(hold on, hold on)

(Verse 2)

Lunch break in traffic

Coffee gone cold

Phone full of faces

You barely know

Bills on the table

Shame in the drawer

Smiling for pictures

Swept off the floor

(Chorus)

Human life

All these tiny moving parts

Human life

Wearing skin over the dark

You learn the rules

You bend them back

You swear you’re fine

You hide the cracks

Human life

(hold on, hold on)

(Bridge)

One day you’re watching your hands

Wonder who’s pulling the strings

One day you’re staring at sky

Waiting to feel anything

(Chorus)

Human life

All these tiny moving parts

Human life

Paper lantern in the dark

You lose your keys

You lose your faith

You lose your fear

You keep your name

Human life

(hold on, hold on)
