​are you there? Ewy

[Verse 1]
The only way I can express my feelings
Is by putting on a mask and pretending like I need it
I need it real fast
It's real crass of you to assume that I'm here with you in the room
Behind these eyes is nothing but healing
And tearing at gashes like I know I really feel it
I need it, the feeling of crying
I'm sure it makes everything more bearable when nothing is pure

[Chorus]
Spirit, are you here?
Spirit, are you there?
Open a door or slam it, I don't really care
Spirit, can you hear me?
Please give me a sign
To tell me, a ghost, that you are still alive

[Verse 2]
All these stupid songs are just selfish
I'm telling my stories for all that want to hear it
I need it, the freedom of myself for sure
Art is self-indulgent, but we all bite the lure
Of fame and money and living freely
I'm a real boy, but my strings are still leading
Myself away from my dreams, I'm sure
When a disease is so rampant, why don't we take the cure?
