Lyrics

- Human (Live)

[Verse 1]

Don't you leave me, Father Time

Take me with you

Tell me, does your sun still shine?

Come squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again

Down my throat again, woah

[Chorus]

You got to breathe, man, breathe

Coming up for air

Breathe, man, breathe

Coming up for air

[Verse 2]

Touch me so I think I'm here

Skin my senses

Barely breathing

Minus human

Please squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again

Ooh, down my throat again, woah

[Chorus]

You got to breathe, man, breathe

Coming up for air

Breathe, man, breathe

Coming up for air

You got to breathe, man, breathe

Coming up for air

Breathe, man, breathe

[Outro]

Coming up for

Yeah
