lyrics

we are racing through the stars
this destiny it is not ours
we think about it every day
it's like we're trying to think it all away

stuck upon this planet
but it's not big enough for my spirit
maybe i fire off like a spark
maybe i love you in the dark
there's only sixty-four keys to make your sound

seven billion individuals now
but i got to get myself heard somehow
you vacuum up all my hopes
you call them dirt, i buy you rope
to hang yourself upon
claw your own face to pieces

no, i will not give you my shoes
no i will not dance to your tune
no i will not say 'yes, i will change'
because i won't
yes it is about compromise
but not to the extent that you die
you say kill everything that i are
you want my ghost to hold you in his arms?

no i won't get real
i was born, baby i was born to dream
you sell me cynics, you say they're truth
(but i don't believe it)
your facts are useless - like you
to this human dream
to this human dream
to my human dream

we roll down hills when we are young
the rest of our life is just the climb back up
least you're not afraid of fallin
feel that all the Truth is calling

no i won't get real
you pour your facts upon me
try to bury me
but your facts are as useless as you
for all the good they can do
i am a human dream...
i am a human dream...
i am a human dream...
but you could never dream me
you could never dream someone as beautiful as me
i am a human dream
human song and human breathe
i don't belong to you, i am me
gotta find my own destiny
i am a human dream....
