AURORA – The Devil is Human Lyrics

 

The Devil is Human Lyrics by AURORA

 

Father, don’t blame us
For trying to leave
For trying to love
For wanting more

Father, don’t blame us
For trying to bleed
Like real human beings
And nothing more

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?

And I hear, you don’t like it
I don’t care if you don’t

Father, don’t blame us
For trying to leave
For trying to love
For wanting more

Father, don’t blame us
For trying to bleed
Like real human beings
And nothing more

Oh, do you envy how I’m free?
How the life in me is real
Running barefoot though 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

And I hear, you don’t like it
I don’t care if you don’t

Father, don’t blame us
For trying to leave
For trying to love
For wanting more

Father, don’t blame us
For trying to bleed
Like real human beings
And nothing more

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