"Human" lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

OF MONSTERS AND MEN
"Human"
(Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir / Ragnar Thorhallsson)

[Verse 1: Ragnar Thorhallsson]
When the words
Weigh heavy on the heart
I am lost
And led only by the stars

[Pre-Chorus: Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir, Ragnar]
Cage me like an animal
A crown with gems and gold
Eat me like a cannibal
Chase the neon throne

[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Breathe in, breathe out; let the human in
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh)
Breathe in, breathe out and let it in
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh)

Plants awoke, and they slowly grow beneath the skin
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh)
So breathe in, breathe out; let the human in

[Verse 2: Ragnar]
The air is silk
Shadows form a grin
If I lose control
I feed the beast within

[Pre-Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Cage me like an animal
A crown with gems and gold
Eat me like a cannibal
Chase the neon throne

[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Breathe in, breathe out; let the human in
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh)
Breathe in, breathe out and let it in
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh)

Plants awoke, and they slowly grow beneath the skin
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh)
So breathe in, breathe out; let the human in

[Pre-Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Cage me like an animal
A crown with gems and gold
Eat me like a cannibal
Chase the neon throne

[Outro: Nanna & Ragnar]
If I could only let go
