Only human
Vent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This could be unsung before I reach that hell.
You trust in me, I'll trust in you.
But remember, I'm only human.
Before you lose your faith in me,
before you doubt,
before you lose your faith in me,
please hear me out.
Two seconds or a lifetime.
Do they compare?
I've lost nothing to before.
But remember, I'm only human.
Before you lose your faith in me,
before you doubt,
before you lose your faith in me,
please hear me out.
You really think I would waste my time?
Am I impure?
Before you lose your faith in me,
before you doubt,




before you lose your faith in me,
please hear me out.

@John M yeah, Hoog Music is their heaviest EP tho

Yeah, the stuff they did, first as Vent then as Nigel, is quite odd. Nowhere near the streamlined heaviness of Dirty Sexy Knights In Paris.
