Lyrics
I don't wanna be here
I don't want to exist in this place
But I don't wanna die
I don't want to end my life
I don't like the body you see me inside
I dislike the physical form in which others perceive me
I'd rather be a ghost
I prefer to be a ghost
That everyone could see
A ghost visible to everyone
A phantom and a friend whenever you need
A spectral presence and a companion whenever needed
I wouldn't have to sweat
I wouldn't have to worry or exert myself
Or find a fitting room
No need to try on clothes in a fitting room
Or go through TSA to fly and see you
No airport security checks to visit you
What's a body but a cage
A body is like a cage that makes me vulnerable
That keeps me weak
It weakens me
It keeps me strange
It makes me peculiar
I don't wanna be here
Reiteration of not wanting to be present
I don't wanna be seen
Not wanting to be observed or noticed
I'd feel so much better as a ghost under a sheet
Feeling more comfortable as a ghost covered by a sheet
What's a body but a cage
Repetition of the body as a limiting cage
That keeps me weak
It weakens and confines
It keeps me strange
It makes me peculiar
Let me be your ghost dear
Desire to be a comforting ghost for someone
I'd haunt you so nice
Wishing to haunt in a pleasant way
What a heavenly way to spend an afterlife
Viewing an afterlife as a heavenly experience
I'm not at home here honey
Emphasis on not feeling at home in the current existence
I'm not at home here honey
-I'm not at home here honey
-I'm not at home here honey
-What's a body but a cage
Reiteration of the body as a constraining cage
That keeps me weak
It weakens and confines
It keeps me strange
It makes me peculiar
