Human - Brooke Fraser

We are watching

Apparitions of ourselves

To inventions

With no earthly tongues to tell

Still suspected

We lay the surface to repel

Off earth

We are mirages

A trick of light a slide of hand

When what we want is

To be touchable again

All five senses

Emerging from the fog

Let’s be human

While we still remember how

It is not a failure to be flawed

It’s beautifully symptomatic

I am not afraid of being more

Than what I’ve been

I want to see how the light falls

I want to feel it on my skin

So how do I begin?

It is not a failure to be flawed

It’s beautifully symptomatic

I am not afraid of being more than what I’ve been

I want to see how the light falls

I want to feel it on my skin

So how do I begin?

We are breezes,

Chasing after wind

Two unjointed pieces

Searching for a way to fit

Sleepers waking

In the half light up till now

Let’s be human

While we still remember how
