Disappearing Act

Jet black fought back at the blink of an eye

Too young, too proud and never short on words

Another riddle without a solution

Waiting for his chance to start

A revolving chain of complications, affirmations

Passing blame

If you're so confident then tell me

Does it make your heart grow fonder watching all your glory fade?

Can you taste it on your lip as you turn your head and walk away?

You swore you'd never let yourself believe

There was anything out there you couldn't reach

And like a skyscraper you stood tall

While the rest of the world was waiting for you to slip under

Well hey Houdini is that you I see?

Carpet pulled from beneath you

Another house of cards caves in

Again and again and again

Does it make your heart grow fonder watching all your glory fade?

Can you taste it on your lip as you turn your head and walk away?

I know that it's harder to breathe knowing that you had it made

Walk away but don't disappear on me

Don't disappear on me

The sweat on your palms will predict the disaster

Grinding your teeth and your heart's beating like a drum

Trembling hand, the show time suspense

I've lost it by now, you'll be thrown out of this

Does it make your heart grow fonder watching all your glory fade?

Can you taste it on your lip as you turn your head and walk away?

I know that it's harder to breathe knowing that you had it made

Walk away but don't disappear on me

Don't disappear on me
