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
