Disappear

Ya know I never gave up on ever wanting to change

I just sort of lost interest and time ran away

And I placed my dreams up high on a shelf

Right next to that faith I lost in myself

And did I grow up too fast or did I change too slow?

In my mind I still feel like I'm eighteen years old

Except something has died and everything's changed

I'm still here, but then nothing's the same

Around here, everybody thinks the same

Around here, they act like it's nothing strange

That they play their parts and they spit out their lines

If it wasn't for their pulse I wouldn't know that they're alive

But how many times have we heard it before?

Little things that kill you just can't ignore

And they're just itching and scratching and trying to get in

Time after time, again and again

Death is knocking but we won't let him in

I think he only comes around because he knows he'll get in

And I've been burned by angels, crippled by fear

Thinking that this darkness may finally disappear

So I drove down into Memphis where two hearts they beat as one

I thought that Elvis had the answers and he was the chosen one

And I went and I rented a big ol' Cadillac

Popped a couple pills and dyed my hair jet black

But some dreams die and some they change

Winners dream again and losers let them burn away

And looking for Jesus every chance that I get

He hasn't been found but I ain't giving up yet

Death is knocking but we won't let him in

I think he only comes around because he knows he'll get in

And I've been burned by angels, crippled by fear

Thinking that this darkness may finally disappear
