when ghost:
-There's a rumpled, faded look about his person, like his body had been laundered too many times.
-There's a smudge under his left eye.
-Always wearing a rumpled Algionby private boys' school uniform.

when living:
-still rumpled but more real. No longer faded.
-The smudge is now a fading bruise.
-literally a living person with his ghost residing within his body. It's a quick and easy fix. His soul was rotting, but when it's in flesh, it's on pause. Sometimes, his spirit slips out.
-probably messily wearing a t-shirt with stupid puns and phrases, band names, and/or blindingly bright colors. He likes ridiculously expensive jeans and trucker hats. Any stupid hats, really--pinwheels, Goofy ears, you name it--but he thinks the douche hats are cool. What bad taste... (the trucker hats are a memory of Von Dutch. ha...)

always:
-He's easy to not notice or ignore. Noah naturally fades into the background and quietly slouches about.
-Noah is flighty, fluttery, and small.
-His hands don't have many places to belong. They're usually fluttering over some item in front of him, slipping into his pockets, coming out and wiping on his pants, hovering in the air--whatever.

VERSE
My coffin's walls are made of glass
And I am tracing letters in the fog
Awoken and alive at last
But seconds do not last for very long

I can feel the glass
cracking beneath my skin
Illusions cannot bleed
without a life to give

CHORUS
Eyes open
We're broken
But we haven't died
Our souls are keeping us alive

Don't let go
I don't know
How to see in the dark
I'm anchored by a borrowed heart

VERSE
Seven years of walking on air
Hasn't killed the ghost between my bones
I am slipping away from here
But I do not know where else to go

Smoke and mirrors
cannot conjure a breath
And you cannot protect
what is already dead

CHORUS
Eyes open
We're broken
But we haven't died
Our souls are keeping us alive

Don't let go
I don't know
How to see in the dark
I'm anchored by a borrowed heart
Heart

BRIDGE
Suspended in between the lines
and trying to leave the pain behind
All the wounds have immortalized
Upon a corpse somehow alive

My vision is obscured again
But I'm more awake than I was then
Surfaced from the shadowed sea
You finally caught your grip on me, oh

CHORUS
Eyes open
We're broken, oh
Eyes open
We're broken
But we haven't died
Our souls are keeping us alive

Don't let go
I don't know how to see in the dark
I'm echoed by a borrowed heart
Echoed by a borrowed
Echoed by a borrowed heart
Heart
