Modern Relics - Humanness Lyrics

I'm an angel and I'm the wise man, yes I know that I know nothing at all
And I'm a thief and I'm the beggar, perverted and it's hard to wash that off
I have served and I have been humble
Kept my eyes down close to the ground
And I thought that I knew one thing
I'd be safe when they lay me down, I'd be safe when I lose my sound

Lay me down my bed of comfort, when it's time for me to rest
Close my eyes to all my troubles, forgive my humanness

I won't disturb you while your sleeping
As my thoughts cross the universe
I feel footsteps and hearts beating
Protect me from their thirst, save me for I was first

Now the place where I lay stands a city today, and the land is worth more than my soul
So this digging the yard it doesn't seem so hard, but how could they not know
How could they not know

You mock me you mock yourself, when our difference is only time
Can't you hear when I'm talking, or do ignore that voice inside
Lay me down in my bed of comfort, when it's time for me to rest
Close my eyes to all of my troubles, forgive my humanness
Forgive my humanness

Yes the place where I lay stands a city today, the land is worth more than my soul
And I can't see the light but how could this be right, disturbing all we know
Disturbing all we know

I'm an angel and I'm the wise man, yes I know that I know nothing at all
And I'm a thief and I'm the beggar, perverted and it's hard to wash that off
Lay me down in my bed of comfort, when it's time for me to rest
Close my eyes to all my troubles, forgive my humanness
Forgive my humanness
Forgive my humanness
