Only Human - Rites Of Ash

Only Human Lyrics

Lights up, cameras down! Yet another old way to free this town.
Don't try to make a sound, all the lovely young faces will drag you down.
Believe it or not, the world will still spin the day that you meet your bitter end.
Said it before, let me say it again: trusting you was my greatest sin.
Another shot, to the women I could never have.
Another nod, to the backs that I could never stab.
Another line, for the parties that I should've crashed.
Tires that I should've slashed, lives that I should've trashed.
Another notch that I could've added to my bed.
Another game that I kept you playing here instead.
One more lie that made it's way across your lips, like hands move across your hips.
You made this seem...
No nothing breaks quite like promises.
(Got your luck hard pressed and the backseat ready to go)
Don't ever forget who gave you everything.
(I've got it all warmed up, and we're ready to start the show)

Lit up, let the games begin. A taste of fame fuels a thirst for sweet revenge.
It's only human to be incredulous, it's simply childish to be so jealous.
So here we stand among a thousand faces, it's death and us linked in ten quick paces. You never thought it would come down to this: pockets of lead, cold steel in your fist.
Another shot, to the women I could never have.
Another nod, to the backs that I could never stab.
Another line for the parties that I should've crashed.
Tires that I should've slashed, lives that I should've trashed.
Another notch that I could've added to my bed.
Another game that I kept you playing here instead.
One more lie that made it's way across your lips, like hands move across your hips.
You make this seem impossible...
Nothing breaks quite like promises.
(Got your luck hard pressed and the backseat ready to go)
Everyone you've left has never walked away.
(I've got it all warmed up, and we're ready to start the show)
Those memories are scars that will never fade.
(Got your luck hard pressed and the backseat ready to go)
Every shard I've left behind stings another day.
(I've got it all warmed up, and we're ready to start the show)
