Yes I've made some mistakes

but I'm only human and

Even angels, take a fall from grace

:

What matters is that you get back up

Dust off your wings again

Fly to new heights

And create your own heaven

:

I've been through hell once or twice

Situations that left me to my own devices

Self medicating, dissociating

Feeling dull and lifeless

:

The flames of hell burning

As I watched my life dwindle

A spectator sport

The game's goal is just to keep living

:

On the edge of my brain

Mentally unhinged

My heart caged from the pain

Feeling trapped once again

:

Yes I've made some mistakes

but I'm only human and

Even angels, take a fall from grace

:

What matters is that you get back up

Dust off your wings again

Fly to new heights

And create your own heaven

:

What hurts the most

Is you can't take back the mistakes you made

You have to live with the skeletons you take to your grave

The best we can do is acknowledge the dark and forgive

:

You can't rewind time

But you can accept what you did

It's hard to admit you're flawed

But mistakes are our greatest teachers

:

Transmutation only happens

When you face who've you been

Then shed the skin of your past

Become the truth of your being

:

Yes I've made some mistakes

but I'm only human and

Even angels, take a fall from grace

:

What matters is that you get back up

Dust off your wings again

Fly to new heights

And create your own heaven

:

I ran for too long searching for change

But if you keep running away from reality

you will never have time to truly live

:

What I was searching for somewhere else

Was always inside myself

It was the iron nodes of pain

That held the formula for my healing

:

The philosopher's stone

I alchemized the stone in my heart

to gold

As an alchemist, a scientist, a lover, an angel

A human

A soul

:

Yes I've made some mistakes

but I'm only human and

Even angels, take a fall from grace

:

What matters is that you get back up

Dust off your wings again

Fly to new heights

And create your own heaven
