    SOUNDTRACK: I’m Only Human Sometimes by William Control

    July 19, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Necromancer Tales: Deadly Lineage by M.J. May

    I’m Only Human Sometimes by William Control for a book about the souls of the dead, the weight of fathers, the hate of bigots, and the solace of true friends.

    I’ve spent a lifetime crossing this culture
    Your sea of hate
    Others who found God, gray existing cold
    Let’s all rejoice in the end times
    Of sorrow and grief and an ocean of love

    I can stare into a soul
    I can stare into the sun
    Yeah, I want my life to begin
    All I have to do is let the right one in

    …

    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I’m not as ugly as I once was
    I’m not as shameful as I used to be
    Open your eyes, boy, open up the dream
    Yeah, I want my life to begin
    All I have to do is let the right one in

    Others who found God, gray existing cold
    Let’s all rejoice in the end times
    Of sorrow and grief and an ocean of love

    I can stare into a soul
    I can stare into the sun
    Yeah, I want my life to begin
    All I have to do is let the right one in

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I’m not as ugly as I once was
    I’m not as shameful as I used to be
    Open your eyes, boy, open up the dream
    Yeah, I want my life to begin
    All I have to do is let the right one in

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I’m only human sometimes
    I am the king of disorder
    I’m only human sometimes
    The sins of the father, the sins of the flesh tonight

    I am usually distracted by the noise within my head
    I have tried for so long to remove the pieces of clutter
    But have found no solution, but to merely exist with these strangers
    The mountains I move with one stroke of a pen are heavy

    Soon I won’t have the strength in my bones to kill a fly
    I need to leave this place, I need to leave this place
    Surrounded by fear, engulfed by flames
    Endorsed by the most putrid, disgusting
    Despicable hatred that does exist, we can find our way

    I’m only human, I’m just a lie
    I’m only human sometimes
    I’m only human, I’m just a lie
    I’m only human sometimes
