I light a smoke with a trembling hand
Ghosts in my lungs, I don’t understand
Heart full of echoes I never planned
Sleepin’ in pain like it’s sacred land

To feel is to be human
But it hurts like hell sometimes
Bleedin’ out in plain view and
Still sayin’ “I’m doin’ fine”
Yeah, I carry all my ruins
Like a cross I chose to find
To feel is to be human
But it cuts me every time

She left with silence louder than screams
Wrote her name in the cracks between dreams
I talk to God in a smoke-stained room
He just nods like He knows I’m doomed

To feel is to be human
But it hurts like hell sometimes
Bleedin’ out in plain view and
Still sayin’ “I’m doin’ fine”
Yeah, I carry all my ruins
Like a cross I chose to find
To feel is to be human
But it cuts me every time

Don’t numb the pain, it teaches
Even if it preaches
With a belt not a Bible
This is survival

To feel is to be human
But it hurts like hell sometimes
Bleedin’ out in plain view and
Still sayin’ “I’m doin’ fine”
Yeah, I carry all my ruins
Like a cross I chose to find
To feel is to be human
And I feel it every time

To feel is to be human…

To Feel Is To Be Human

Verse 1 (Blues):
Had my last dollar folded in my boot
Whiskey in my belly and sin in my suit
I prayed for mercy at the station stairs
But the devil came 'round… and took my train fare

Verse 2 (Blues):
Ticket in my hand, heart full of flame
Tryin’ to outrun guilt and a bloodstained name
Conductor said “Boy, you ain't goin' nowhere”
'Cause the devil showed up… and took my train fare

🎤 Rap Verse (Dark, Slow Flow – Dusty Southern Bounce):
Pockets turned out, soul ran thin,
Deal made cheap on a backroom whim
I shook a cold hand, thought it meant escape
But all it bought me was rust and fate

Now I’m stuck in a town with no name sign,
Where clocks don’t tick and the church won’t chime
Crossroads laughin’ like it just don’t care—
'Cause the devil cashed out with my train fare

Chorus (Blues):
Oooooh Lord, I ain't got no ride
Stranded at the edge where the lost ones hide
Track’s gone cold, and the smoke ain’t there—
The devil came ‘round…
And took my train fare

Bridge (Spoken Blues + Harmonica Fade-In):
He wore a grin like a rusted blade,
Said “Redemption? Boy, that price been paid.”
Left me hummin’ low in the midnight air—
Alone… with no train, and no prayer

Final Chorus (Blues + Rap Ad-libs):
Oooooh Lord, my boots feel thin
Walkin’ this world where the wrong don’t end
No whistle, no hope, just a cold blank stare—
'Cause the devil done smiled…
And took my train fare

(soft spoken outro)
“Next time I run… I’ll walk.”
