Oubliette (Disappear)

I watched you steal away

A man's best years

With the drumming of his fingers

With the kicking of his heals

I watched you put away

Your sweetest sins

I watched tempters satisfy

With the sweetest taste

of wasted time

Don't let me disappear

Don't let me let me fall apart

Don't lead me to the wayside

Just don't let me go

Don't let me fade away

I watched him travel down

A steady road

With no milestones

Just a gentle slope

Soft underfoot,

No sudden turns to warn of sliding

down that safe and sound

But all too familiar road

This is all too familiar

Don't let me disappear

Don't let me let me fall apart

Don't lead me to the wayside

Just don't let me go

Don't let me fade away

Just keep this off my mind

Anything or not a thing will do

I watched you steal away

A man's best years

With the drumming of his fingers

With the kicking of his heals

With out a twinkle in his eye

I watched him beg and plead with his moving lips

and bended knees

Just to have you back

Be numb my heart

O' nothingness

Don't let me disappear

Don't let me let me fall apart

Don't lead me to the wayside

Just don't let me go

Don't let me fade away

They've got you wrapped around their fingers

Because anything or not a thing will do

(A DEAD FIRE IN A COLD ROOM)
