Human from Demos by Matt Farr

Lyrics:


Show me the palates you work from,
Show me how you hold a knife,
Your mornings and evenings, your visions your schemes
The polished shells and porcelain figures
Of your childhood memories

Show me frailty,
Show me human please.

Show me the marks on your body,
Show me how you age:
Your April endeavours, your August fits and failures,
Your summers short your autumns sharp, your winters, opaque.

But show me human stone,
Show me worn and old,
Show me human frailty,
Show me human…

Show me these dreams of which you speak,
This daylight disturbing sleep.
Show me your atlas, your set-square and compass,
The tracings you took of the universe
Show me all that you see.

But show me human first,
Show me where it hurts,
Show me human frailty,
Teach me fear to lose..

Through me, show me human please
Through me, show me human please
With me, show me human please
Through me, show me frailty.
