Same Colors 03:29
I could have sworn oh I was certain that we were watching the same movie that we would share this page of history and that your eyes would see the same as me But we are caged inside our own heads I was mistaken and I’m sorry to think that we could find a common ground we see the same three colors differently We see this differently but I am not your enemy how can I make you see so I don’t have to see alone? I could have sworn oh I was certain I was the hero in this story that I would change your faith so gradually I’d win the war and let you worship me we see this differently but I am not your enemy how can I make you see so I don’t have to see alone?

Pick Sides 03:23
We say goodnight But everybody’s talking, everybody’s talking Are you left or right? Everybody’s fighting, everybody’s fighting We pick sides, we pick sides Then cover both our ears and our eyes You say goodnight You bought yourself a gun, you think it makes you safer And stop telling me What to do with my body, it’s my fucking body We pick sides, we pick sides And won’t rest till we’re categorized We pick sides You say goodnight But everybody’s talking If I run and hide I’m never gonna see you eye to eye I’m never gonna hear you, hear your point of view We’re living in our old days Dressing up as new We pick sides, we pick sides Then cover both our ears and our eyes We pick sides

Cell Phone 03:21
I'm trying to break my cell phone so I don't have to take you call I'm trying to break my cell phone tell me if I succeed will I destroy my brains and bones? I'm looking for your flesh and blood I just want somebody to love and just because we're digital please don't fail to see me I'm looking for your flesh and blood Have we forgotten to bleed? I'm trying to break my cell phone words fly at speed of light so you don't have to be alone I'm looking for your flesh and blood I just want somebody to love and just because we're digital please don't fail to see me I'm looking for your flesh and blood Have we forgotten to bleed?

Monsters sleep beneath our beds Hear the thoughts inside our heads Do you want to spend the night? Protect me from my own damn mind Fear of time, fear of failure Because nobody lives forever Ride the carousel, keep on turning Don’t know when it stops, but your learning Fear of darkness, fear of strangers Stay within our lines, avoid the other There’s a reason why, why we fight these wars Cause we’re terrified Terrified of everything unknown But did you know that darling you’re not alone?

about

Not Human is the sophomore EP of BK-based, synthpop duo Birch. Set against the backdrop of the 2016 US election, Not Human explores the factors that divide us, the reasons why we forget that we are all one.
