Lyrics
English: I'm not tired, I am nowhere close / I'm alive, I'm not a ghost / I'm in pain but I can talk / Brace my bleeding, just can't walk, just can't walk, just can't walk, just can't walk / The kid is about to pack it in / My heart is still beating / Yeah I'm really alright / If I get out here alive / Stop and take me seriously, just not as much the old ladies / Just not as much as the... / It's not like I need brain surgery... / Yeah I'm not really alright / But I'll get out of here alive
