[Verse 1]
Eyes wide open
Still stuck in a blackout
Swing at the walls
Every punch passin' right through 'em
Name on they lips
Face on nobody’s mind
I’m in the room
But I live on the sidelines
Walk through the crowd
Cold air in a heatwave
Talk to myself
My words never leave base
You see straight through
My skin like it’s clear glass
Smile on my face
But it’s taped like a cheap mask
[Pre-Chorus]
I claw at the air till my fingers burn
I beg for a bruise just to prove I’m hurt
[Chorus]
I’m screamin’ out loud
But no noise can be heard
Throat all torn
And it’s still just a blur
I’m fightin’ right now
But I fade like the smoke
All I feel like
All I’m known as
Is Casper the friendly ghost (yeah)
Casper the friendly ghost (woo)
[Verse 2]
Hands reach out
But they pass through my ribcage
Heartbeats hit
Like drums in an empty space
“Nice guy, cool kid”
That’s the script they built for me
But I’m one wrong word
From erupting like a war scene
Smile so soft
But my rage got its own teeth
Bite my tongue
Till the copper hits both cheeks
Laugh it off
While I’m choking on my own breath
Shadow on the wall
Not a body, just an old threat
[Pre-Chorus]
I tear at the chains that you never see
I’m hauntin’ this life that you took from me
[Chorus]
I’m screamin’ out loud
But no noise can be heard
Throat all torn
And it’s still just a blur
I’m fightin’ right now
But I fade like the smoke
All I feel like
All I’m known as
Is Casper the friendly ghost (hey)
Casper the friendly ghost
[Bridge]
Put a little respect on the see-through
I’m the chill in your bones when I breeze through
You can laugh at my pain like it’s see-through
’Til I rip up the script, break the screen too (break it)
I’m the crack in the frame
The stain in the church glass
The past you buried
Comin’ back like a whiplash
If I vanish tonight
Know I still left a curse
You gon’ feel every word
That you never let burst
[Chorus]
I’m screamin’ out loud
But no noise can be heard
Throat all torn
And it’s still just a blur
I’m fightin’ right now
But I fade like the smoke
All I feel like
All I’m known as
Is Casper the friendly ghost
Casper the friendly ghost
[Outro]
So if you feel that
Echo in your chest (in your chest)
That’s me, unfinished
Still bangin’ on what’s left
I was nothin’ but a joke
In their twisted little show
Now I’m Casper, not so friendly
And I won’t let go
