Stick-Figure Human

Hey
I’m not a human… I’m really sorry
But I’m put together to look exactly the same, so I’m often mistaken for one


I’m not a human… Even if you were to ask me what it is I am
Then I really wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to answer your question


I look like a human… so everybody treats me the same as anyone else
I want to live up to their expectations, so I’m striving my hardest each day


Smiling and sympathy and humility; self-sacrifice and kindness from the moment I wake
Living through all these required items that easily surpass a hundred-million in number


But even with all that, in reality it doesn’t make a difference… in the end, an imitation’s nothing more than just that
People leave me, one by one… And my humanity starts to slough off


Bringing happiness to those dear to me, trying to laugh at stuff that’s not that funny
Before long, I end up not being able to tell what sort of face I’m making


I’m not a human… I’m really sorry
But I’m put together to look exactly the same, so I’m often mistaken for one


I’m not a human… Even if you were to ask me what it is I am
Then I really wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to answer your question


“One of these days, I’ll be able to become a real human—”
That’s what I dreamed… I was dreaming


While living nice and appropriately, while working nice and seriously
While pretending I was perfectly OK, and while occasionally shedding tears


I’m always forgetting the happiness that I get a hold of, I’m always shoving my shortcomings to the side
Pissing people off, annoying them, making them sad… just who the hell am I, anyways?


If this was how it was always gonna be, then it would have been better
If from the start, you hadn’t made me look human… if you had made me look totally different


I wanna try living for someone else’s sake… I wanna leave behind some significance to my being born
Even after all this time, I’m still trying to say things like a human would


I still can’t even pull off the most basic fundamental parts of being a human, not even one!
Wow, I really managed to believe I could do it… you have every right to be angry!


I’m not a human… I’m really sorry
But I’m put together to look exactly the same, so I’m often mistaken for one


Is it okay for me to be human too? Someone, please give me an answer
Will you guys accept me for living, imitating your every move?


I’m not a human… I’m really sorry
But I’m put together to look exactly the same, at least for a cheap knockoff
No matter how many times I had thought I’d given up… I really want to be human

ねぇ
僕は人間じゃないんです ほんとにごめんなさい
そっくりにできてるもんで よく間違われるのです


僕は人間じゃないんです じゃあ何かと聞かれましても
それはそれで皆目 見当もつかないのです


見た目が人間なもんで 皆人並みに相手してくれます
僕も期待に答えたくて 日々努力を惜しまないのです


笑顔と同情と謙遜と 自己犠牲、朝起床に優しさと
優に1億は超えそうな 必要事項を生きるのです


しかしまったくもってその甲斐もなく 結局モノマネはモノマネでしかなく
一人、また一人と去ってゆき 人間が剥がれ落ちるのです


大切な人を幸せにしたり 面白くもないことで笑ってみたり
そのうち今どんな顔の自分か わからなくなる始末です


僕は人間じゃないんです ほんとにごめんなさい
そっくりにできてるもんで よく間違われるのです


僕は人間じゃないんです じゃあ何かと聞かれましても
それはそれで皆目 見当もつかないのです


僕もいつの日にかホントの 人間になれるんじゃないかなんて
そんな夢を見ていました 夢を見てました


ほどよくテキトーに生きながら ほどよくまじめに働きながら
全然大丈夫なフリしながら たまに涙流しながら


手に入れた幸せは忘れるわ 自分のことばかり棚にあげるわ
怒らせ、苛つかせ、悲しませ 僕は一体誰ですか?


どうせこんなことになるのなら はじめから僕の姿形を
人間とは遙かほど遠いものに してくれりゃよかったのに


誰かのために生きてみたいな 生まれた意味を遺してみたいな
この期に及んでまだ人間みたいなことをぬかしているのです


人間として初歩中の初歩を 何一つとしてできないままに
よくもまぁそんな気になれたもんだ 怒るのもごもっともです


僕は人間じゃないんです ほんとにごめんなさい
そっくりにできてるもんで よく間違われるのです


僕も人間でいいんですか? ねぇ誰か答えてよ
見よう見まねで生きてる 僕を許してくれますか


僕は人間じゃないんです ほんとにごめんなさい
そっくりにできてるもんで バッタもんのわりにですが
何度も諦めたつもりでも 人間でありたいです
