They're Only Human

Only Human is a song in Death Note: The Musical.

Lyrics (English)
[RYUK]

(sighs)

Look at how they crawl around

Upon the ground

Like little ants

[REM]

Yes, but how they fascinate

Confusing fate

With what is merely chance

[RYUK]

Isn't it a laugh

[REM]

Isn't it a shame

[RYUK]

Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame

[REM]

Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead

They hope for the lives that they need

[RYUK]

Living every day till the day they die

Never getting answers

[REM]

Yet still asking why

Going through the motions as if there will be a reward

[RYUK]

While we stay eternally bored!

[BOTH]

They're only human

They don't see

Who they are is who they'll always be

Only human, after all

[RYUK]

So they push and they shove

[REM]

With this thing they call love

[BOTH]

Till they fall!

[RYUK]

Isn't it a farce?

[REM]

Isn't it a waste?

[RYUK]

Struggling to face what can never be faced

[REM]

Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share

[RYUK]

I really don't know and don't care

[BOTH]

They're only human

Standing still

Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill

Only human, after all

[RYUK]

So they give and they take

[REM]

Hoping someone will help break their fall

[RYUK]

They will pray, curse, live die

Never knowing their truth is another man's lie

[REM]

Eat, sleep, love, hate

Like a leaf blowing in the wind

[RYUK]

Watch them all vacillate

[BOTH]

They're only human

They can't see

[RYUK]

All the years they could give you and me

[BOTH]

Only human, after all

[REM]

So they give and we take

[RYUK]

Till their silly hearts break

[REM]

Looking down from above

I'm intrigued by their love

[RYUK]

So let's call!

(spoken:) Hmmm, let's call.
