Mica & The Midnight Blue - Human Beings

Born in England, raised as British
I could never take that name
I don't fit into their image;
It'd cause the aristocracy
Too much pain

Born to fit into their tick box
We could never be the same
Fortune favours the rich;
They say poverty is your fault
Take the blame

We use to be human beings
Yea we were just allowed to be
Oh then we were human doings
Tryna fulfil every fantasy
Oh, but now we're human seeings
Living our lives through a screen
And it makes me so afraid
Won't you look
At the mess we've made?
I'll take a picture for you

So tell me what are your distractions
Keeping you from being free?
What is it you fill your mind with
Curating your own reality

And ain't it funny when you realise
They teach you
What they want you to know
Someone's fact is another's fiction;
The guarded truth of twisted goals

We use to be human beings
Yea we were just allowed to be
Oh then we were human doings
Tryna fulfil every fantasy
Oh, but now we're human seeings
Living our lives through a screen
And it makes me so afraid
Won't you look
At the mess we've made?

I'll take a picture for you, oh oh oh oh
I'll take a picture for you, ohh ohh
I'll take a picture for you, ooh ahh

We use to be human beings
Yea we were just allowed to be
Oh then we were human doings
Tryna fulfil every fantasy
Oh, but now we're human seeings
Living our lives through a screen
And it makes me so afraid
Won't you look
At the mess we have made?
