Casper

My mind is spinning in a heavy room

Overthinking every shadow in the gloom

I’m standing at the edge, overwhelmed by the tide

Trying to find a place where my spirit can hide

Casper, you’re a ghost in your own machine

Caught up in the static of the in-between

But I want to live, I want to see the light

Punch a hole right through the middle of the night

I'm walking through hell while the flames get high

But I want to live, and I can’t afford to die

Yeah, I want to live, and I can't afford to die

Looking at the lines that I drew on my skin

Tracing out the battles where the dark crept in

I'm desperate for a change, trying to turn the page

To break my own heart out of this heavy cage

It feels like a cycle that never stops turning

But deep in my chest, there's a fire still burning

'Cause I want to live, I want to see the light

Punch a hole right through the middle of the night

I'm walking through hell while the flames get high

But I want to live, and I can’t afford to die

Yeah, I want to live, and I can't afford to die

Every time I fall, I swear it’s the end

But I pick myself up and I breathe out again

The pain is relentless, it tears at my soul

But fighting the pieces is making me whole

Hold on, Casper, step out of the dark

Protect every ember and fuel up the spark

'Cause I want to live, I want to see the light

Punch a hole right through the middle of the night

I'm walking through hell while the flames get high

But I want to live, and I can’t afford to die

Yeah, I want to live, I’m taking back the sky

I'm gonna live, 'cause I can't afford to die!
