[English]

I breathe air and sigh

Toucan sleeps and cries

I'm all armored up

I've got my old helmet on

Keeping out an eye

Puffing all my feathers up

One more little blow

One more tap and I collapse

Teetering on a toe

I feel that final poke

Please, it's not okay

Oh can't you feel your dirty face?

Oh don't it leave that filthy taste

Oh when you squeeze that life untamed?

I free fall real slow

I'm all drying out

Where my funny friends gone?

You're in paradise

Who gon' plant the flowers, huh?

Weak and worried I

Shut my wild eyes

And crumble to a pile

Of dust and fertilise

Please, it's not okay

Oh, can't you feel your dirty face?

Oh, don't it leave that filthy taste

When you squeeze that life untamed?

Take my hand and let us fall

Play with me and pass the ball

Take my hand and let us fall

Play with me and pass the ball

Take my hand and let us fall

...

I breathe air and sigh

You can't breathe without me
