If I'm being honest; it feels like 13 weeks since I last went outside.
And no, I , never should've lied. And neither should you.
'Cause now I don't know who to trust;  If I can't trust you and I certainly can't trust myself.
This is punishment enough .
I made myself, this.
I'm ADLER, in red.
And then thats when you asked me,

"How blue are you?"
How blue.
I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left here. Waiting.
"How blue?"
"How blue are you?"
How blue. 
I am a ghost. I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left here. Waiting.
 
Though my head hangs low, I'm still looking up.
Yeah, this is gonna be rough but I'll be just fine.
I'm okay with going it alone; when alone and by yourself is better than 
alone around smiling faces.
I can face it.
I made myself, this.
Illuminated.
And then thats when you asked me,

"How blue are you?"
How blue.
I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left here. Waiting.
How blue are you?
I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left here. Waiting.
How blue.

I must be living in a dream.
I'm as free as a free bird can be.
Focus on enjoying the moment.
You'll be alright while flying alone.

"How blue are you?"
How blue.
"How blue are you?"
I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left here. Waiting.
How blue.
I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left here. Waiting.
I am the only one here.
Left.
Here; waiting.
How blue are you?
I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left here. Waiting.
 How blue?
I am a ghost. I am the only one here. Left. Here; waiting.

How blue are you?
How blue?
I am a ghost!
