CASPER (with Maruja)

I wanna go somewhere Why can’t we just go somewhere? Can we go somewhere that waits That won’t move away from us, from us Ohhh There’s a vulnerable feeling Ohh, woahh That’s a place that ain’t leaving, leaving The answers I found Over exposed You were born with a lot to correct You were born with a puzzle to solve You’re not high You just became a child Returned to a path, hiding in overgrown grass If you didn’t chase it It would have stayed still The horizon is a prey-like animal That preys on men who pray like animals And now it takes form, and takes flight It can take you anywhere you like Open your hand and your palm Drown out the countdown to the alarm The line curves into a path through clouds The tail wrapped in waves, its mouth covered in sky I prayed one last time But I didn’t know It can smell fear on your breath And the sweat in the hands of a man Who has never forgiven himself And the answers I so desperately crave Will cover me in the shape of a cave Removing a stone from a roof held together with nothing but tension I could end the world with one slip from the other side of the ceiling I accept your answer I was just a pretender Who learned how to surrender At least I know something you won’t In the bigger picture where I extend beyond the frame Your world will end at home And to you that will be good enough My world ends so much worse And so much harder To me that is better To it we’re the same And to everyone To everyone The captain stands alone Arms to the sky The symphony of loneliness unheard upon its own He cracks a bottle It’s the only friend he knows Years of no expression left him bitter, comatose The rain is torrential He gives a toothless grin About to meet the devil Projections from within Lighting strikes the ocean Illuminating fears The depth reflects his mind, his time is getting near Counting every moment Wish away the minutes Waves as big as mountains Strung out to his limits The blankness of oblivion Reality sinks in Consumed by the roar of fear A thousand voices grin Heart pounding He finishes the bottle Climbs up to the sail, clutching, wishing for tomorrow While all his crew were taken Lost to the ocean The ghost of his friends begin to haunt him Spirit broken Vanish like the stars on a dark misty night Evil housed the wind as it barked in his mind The thunder splitting ear drums Like the sound of metal snapping Because fate is getting closer, faith was always lacking Time is of the essence Embrace or let it go A solace inside courage Intuition always known but the darkness so consuming The only life he’s shown Is that heaven’s open wide It’s hell on earth he knows
