What makes us human?
Is it flesh
That makes us human
Or a heart?

Can you cry
Without tears
Live without
Fears
If you were made
Of metal or stone
Can you feel regrets
That ache inside your bones?
If you scream into the void
Are you alone?

Are you alive
Or insane
If you bleed no blood
Yet feel echoes of pain
There’s a darkness
You can’t seem to shake
Breathe in breathe out
Insomnia keeps you awake
Your true self revealed
When you break

Is it flesh
That makes us human
Or a heart?
