Missing Persons

It's tragic--keeps on happening all the time

It's the kind of thing that I fear

I feel I'm making no headway

Walls I know are starting to disappear

It's like they'd never existed, strange but true

As sure as I'm talking to you

Now you see it, now I don't want to frighten you

But I'm simply here standing alone

Trapped in these shadows that belong to missing persons

Names faded from memory join the list and then mark time

Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance

Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance

Obsessed, the quality of life escapes me now

It's one of the things I lack

From the east and to the west

I feel it's time that I was heading back

I can't control these feelings that I have

I've never been one to hide

Become a pillar of society

But don't let your morals slide

Or you can find that you've become a missing person

A here today gone tomorrow breeze and lost in the night

Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance

Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance

But I know in the end, I'll be safe, we'll be happy

After finding myself we'll be fine

Any problems we have will be gone in a moment

I'll become just a state of the mind

I want you close

I need you near

You have to be here

I turned around

You've gone again
