I'm not
Crawling around
Looking for a friend
I'm not
Thinking the big I am
I'm not
Down on the ground
Looking for a cure
I'm not
Saying that I'm the man

And I'm not asking for your opinion
I'm not asking for a miracle
And I'm not asking you to remember me
Not asking for the ghost to call

I'm
Cold and corrupt
Looking for a heart
I'm
Trying to hide my scars
I'm
Talking to you
Like a shadow in the dark
I'm
Just trying to survive

(Call my name, hide my shame)
I call this human emotion
(Save my soul, save my soul)
I call this human corrosion

And I'm not asking you for emotion
I'm not asking for the sky to mend
And I'm not asking you for nostalgia
I'm not asking for the world to end
And I'm not asking for your opinion
I'm not asking for a miracle
And I'm not asking you to remember me
Not asking for the ghost to call
