Human After All - Dirt Poor Robins

Love, your enemy is time

It’s too soon to set it straight

Too late to keep you on the narrow

For this pressure on my chest

That never lets me rest is building with each new tomorrow

For what we needed most, was only just a ghost

A vapor trail, a plane gone by

A bridge of smoke that fades before our eyes

We’d cross the rope, but our balance is a joke

We’re human after all, still there’s no excuse to fall

This mortal will, more rust than flesh

Turned by the creeping bitterness

Aging machines, no soul to offer

Crushed by the burdens of our fears

Carried alone for all these years

Programmed to flee, too weak to bother

What we needed most was only just a ghost

A vapor trail, a plane gone by

A bridge of smoke that fades before our eyes

We’d cross the rope, but our balance is a joke

We’re human after all, still there’s no excuse to-

Afraid of letting go, we claw the dirt and move the earth

Reclaiming the rotting vessels of our love

Animating corpses to dance like they’re rejoicing

As the audience is stifled by the actors in our show

But it must go on

We were the cause, we are at fault

We cannot draw from empty vaults

With vacant hands, we’re left to ponder

If only then we had been told, infatuations would grow cold

We might have more than ash to squander

I’ll always wonder…

Was it a vapor trail?

A vapor trail

Are we a vapor trail?

Vapor trail
