Only a Human
by Tina Boonstra

Album: My Concrete Heart - Will Beat Again

Verse 1
He's twelve years old today
Should be playing football with his mates
Instead, he's walking through the city streets alone
?, he's freezing cold

Verse 2
There's a bomb strapped onto his chest
They called him hero as he left
But his brothers, they don't see now he's just a shell
Ticket to heaven, exit from hell

Chorus 1
Eyes locked onto the ground
Feel like cement blocks
Takes everything to keep him moving
Breath in, try to breathe out
You're not to blame now
You're only a human
Only a human
Only a human

Verse 2
Daises bloom on his skin
He only gives her a flower through his fists
She says, "One day, I'm gonna leave this all behind
'Cause if this is living, I'd rather die"

Chorus 2
Eyes locked onto the ground
Feel like cement blocks
Takes everything to keep her moving
Breath in, try to breathe out
You're not to blame now
You're only a human
Only a human
Only a human

Bridge
What kind of life is this?
I keep my head down, I keep my head down
Moving so I don't have to see anything
I keep my head down, I keep my head down
What kind of life is this?
I keep my head down, I keep my head down
Moving so I don't have to see anything
I keep my head down, I keep my head down

Chorus 3
Eyes locked onto the ground
Feel like cement blocks
Takes everything to keep on moving
Breath in, try to breathe out
I'm not to blame now
I'm only a human
Only a human
Only a human
Only a human
Only a human
