The Disappearing Act
Yearning for Answers: The Disappearing Act
Lyrics
Many many weeks
Expressing a prolonged passage of time.
And I'm still sleeping on my own
Feeling alone without a partner.
Waking to the whispers of the night
Awakening to the sounds of the night.
And I'm finding out the secrets
Discovering unsettling truths.
That I wish I'd never known
Regretting knowledge gained.
Keep me at a distance, I'm alright
Preferring emotional distance for self-preservation.
But I'm lying to keep me afloat
Telling lies to cope with internal struggles.
And I'm trying to keep my eyes closed
Attempting to avoid facing reality.
Soon the dark will be gone
Anticipating the end of a difficult period.
And the right won't feel wrong
Expecting a return to normalcy.
But I'm dying to know where you go, oh
Curiosity about someone's whereabouts.
Many many times
Repetition of a prolonged period, indicating struggle.
I've wrestled thoughts of giving up
Contemplating giving up on a challenging situation.
Swear I'd give it all to you tonight
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for a loved one.
But I've been told by many
Receiving caution against trusting a loved one.
Not to trust the one you love
Advising to maintain emotional distance.
Keep them at a distance. Yes, thats right
Acknowledging the advice given.
But I'm lying to keep me afloat
Deception to cope with inner struggles continues.
And I'm trying to keep my eyes closed
Attempting to avoid facing reality persists.
Soon the dark will be gone
Expectation of a brighter future.
And the right wont feel wrong
Anticipating a return to moral clarity.
But I'm dying to know where you go, oh
Reiterating curiosity about someone's whereabouts.
So I'm lying to keep me afloat
Continued deception to cope with struggles.
And I'm trying to keep my eyes closed
Persistent effort to avoid facing reality.
Soon the dark will be gone
Expectation of the end of a challenging period.
And the right won't feel wrong
Hope for a return to moral clarity.
But I'm dying to know where you go
Reiteration of curiosity about someone's whereabouts.
Where you go, where you go
Final expression of curiosity about someone's destination.
