Not a Human

Lyrics

[Intro]
I’ve been counting every second in the corners of the room,
I’ve been waiting for the moment something steps into my view.
Every question that I ask myself rewrites what I recall,
I’m a tenant in a body that was never mine at all.
[Verse 1]
I keep pacing through the memories, they rearrange again,
Every detail of my story doesn’t match the shape I’m in.
There’s a knock inside my skull that doesn’t follow any plan,
Is it someone coming for me or the part of me that ran?
[Pre-Chorus]
I was certain I belonged here but the answers start to bend,
If I open up the door, is it a stranger or a friend?
Every name I try to speak feels like a riddle wearing skin,
Am I waiting for a visitor, or am I the one within?
[Chorus]
I am not a human, I am not a man,
I am just a shifting echo trying hard to understand.
If the pale man knows my secrets, he can read me like a brand,
Who’s the visitor, the witness, or the one who shouldn’t stand?
[Verse 2]
There’s a pattern in the quiet that keeps spelling out my fate,
But I never learned the language and I always read it late.
Even photographs of me are full of strangers in my place,
Like the world keeps rearranging all the pieces of my face.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been holding onto certainties that crumble when I breathe,
Every truth becomes a myth the second that I try to leave.
If I chase another thought I lose the path I followed last,
Nothing solid, nothing grounded, only futures made of past.
[Chorus]
I am not a human, I am not a man,
I’m a question with an outline and an unfamiliar plan.
If the pale man finds an entrance, will he tell me what I am?
Who’s the visitor, the victim, or the ghost inside my hands?
[Bridge]
I’ve been walking in a circle but the circle isn’t round,
Every step becomes a copy of a step I never found.
Is the knocking getting closer, or is it just in my head?
Am I falling into madness, or escaping what I fled?
[Final Chorus]
I am not a human, I am not a man,
I am something drifting nameless in a place I can’t withstand.
If the pale man comes to claim me, then he’ll know before I can—
Who’s the visitor, the warning, or the shadow in my skin?
[Outro]
I’ve been asking all these questions but I never hear a sound,
Maybe answers only matter when there’s someone else around.
If I vanish from the doorway like a whisper in the hall,
Then I guess I wasn’t human—
Maybe I was never here at all.
