[English]

Oh wake up bro she'll come alive

You better watch out baby

You better watch out baby

Oh she's about to wreck your life

You better watch out baby

You better watch out buddy

I just wanted to be free

And be happy endlessly

Something always drags me down

Wanna run away, but I can't

Casket girl

You came to lay my body down

(There's nothing you can do, you're already dead)

Fast or slow, just so you know

Them gorgeous eyes

Are my demise

Casket girl

You came to make me go insane

(How can we not survive? It's such a shame)

Use me up

Can't get enough of all her lies

It can't be right

Casket girl,

casket girl,

casket girl,

oh casket girl

Oh wake up bro it's just a dream

You better watch out baby

You better watch out baby

Life is a game, we play it as a team

We gotta make it baby

We gotta make it till the end

Just when I see the sunrise

And lie around at midnight

You'll come back at any time

I'll be crying, fighting for my life

Casket girl

You came to lay my body down

(There's nothing you can do, you're already dead)

Fast or slow, just so you know

Them gorgeous eyes

Are my demise

Casket girl

You came to make me go insane

How can we not survive? It's such a shame

Use me up

Can't get enough of all her lies

It can't be right

There's gotta be a way to make it better

Try a little love and grow together

Woah woah

'Nough of delusion

Let's get out of the whole and

Find a way to make it better

Try a little love yourself together

Woah woah

High time for freedom

Why don't we both come outta Casket girl?

Casket girl we got some kind of freedom

Casket girl we got some kind of freedom

Casket girl we got some kind of freedom

How about we both come outta Casket girl?
