Connor Fitzpatrick- "To Make a Human" | TARCO
Lyrics:
Our lives are concoctions, of ingredients we can’t see
The hopes and fears of all our years thrown in with a sprinkle of dreams
Now add them all together and wear em with a smile
A real-life life casino where you hope the jackpot is worthwhile
Preheat your oven to success and let sit for 20 years
If it burns “it burns” oh well. The recipe doesn’t list tears
And if it fails,don’t let fear prevail. There’s more in the pantry yet
Just spray down the pan with hope, grab a pound of regret
I know you, you know me, each of us locked in memory
With emotions, and passions outspoken
Then throw in dollar signs, Clear Blue Skies, And our pretty little lies
Then you have all it takes to make a human
Our lives are concoctions, of ingredients we can’t see
Our determination and desperation bursting at the seams
Your existence a miracle so go and face your trials
Whether you sit at home alone or you’re walking down the aisle
Dissolve your time into your work and mix until it's clear
Until the fire in your eyes has been snuffed out by the years
And someone who comes after you will do it all again
Their last wishes immortalized with the stroke of a fountain pen
I know you, you know me, each of us locked in memory
With emotions, and passions outspoken
Then throw in dollar signs, Clear Blue Skies, And our pretty little lies
Then you have all it takes to make a human
Time, where does it go
As we float into the sky
Can you get satisfaction
In life before you die
As I wish upon a star
And the white light flashes in
I try to recollect and remember what it takes
To make a human
