Lyrics
I'm not a god, no, I'm just a man
I acknowledge that I am not divine; I am merely a human being.
I bleed when my skin's cut
I experience pain and vulnerability when my skin is wounded.
I weep in my hands
I express my sorrows by weeping into my hands.
And I can't forgive you or all of your sins
I cannot forgive you for the mistakes and wrongdoings you've committed.
No, I can't forgive you for the way that you live
I cannot forgive your lifestyle and the choices you've made.
I lost my faith when I turned 21
I lost my faith in something significant around the age of 21.
Stare at the bottle, my hand on a gun
I find myself contemplating self-destructive actions, contemplating despair.
I'll curse at the sky and I'll scream up above
I express frustration and anger towards the heavens, seeking answers.
Is there anybody out there that can help me through this hell?
I reach out to find anyone who can assist me in navigating this difficult situation.
'Cause I'm lost and alone
I feel lost and abandoned.
Heartache and pain is all I've ever known
Throughout my life, I have only experienced heartache and pain.
I'm a waste of a body, I'm a waste of a soul
I see myself as a wasted existence, both physically and spiritually.
Please, let me come home
A plea to be accepted or welcomed despite perceived shortcomings.
'Cause I'm not a god, no, I'm just a man
Reiteration of being human, not divine.
I bleed when my skin's cut
Highlighting the physical vulnerability of bleeding.
I weep in my hands
Emphasizing emotional vulnerability through weeping.
And I can't forgive you or all of your sins
Reiterating the difficulty in forgiving someone for their transgressions.
No, I can't forgive you for the way that you live your life
Reaffirming the challenge of accepting the chosen life path of another.
I struggle with gluttony, and envy, and lust
Confession of struggling with excessive desires like gluttony, envy, and lust.
Pride's not an issue: I hate my own guts
Pride is not a problem; the speaker dislikes themselves profoundly.
I'm broken, and empty, and all out of trust
Expressing a sense of brokenness, emptiness, and a lack of trust in others.
I'm full of self-doubt and devoid of all love
Feeling plagued by self-doubt and devoid of love.
'Cause I'm not a god, no, I'm just a man
Reiteration of being human, not divine.
I bleed when my skin's cut
Re-emphasizing the physical vulnerability of bleeding.
I weep in my hands
Re-emphasizing emotional vulnerability through weeping.
And I can't forgive you or all of your sins
Continued struggle with forgiveness for past wrongs committed by others.
No, I can't forgive you for the way that you live your life
Reiterating the difficulty in accepting the way someone else lives their life.
