Lyrics

We Had To Disappear

The only place
To go from here
That's all we had to disappear
I made my choice
The pulsing waves that miss the moon
Will rise and fall, each day will too
I'm dancing in the waves
I'm dancing in the waves

The only place
To taste your fear
Convince your mind to disappear
Bluebells draping from your ear
In killer calm
The void so sweet
I drain my noise to feel complete
I'm dancing in the waves
I'm dancing in the waves

The only place
By no good means
Your cradle preying on your dreams
You've lost your voice

The slow-run race
Abound with charm
I lie awake need no alarm
I lie awake
And watch you waste away
Watch you waste away
Watch you waste away

A lonely place
To come from here
That's all we had to disappear
Bluebells draping

The ground in circles
Twisted still
You can't cross paths that aren't yet built
I'm stranded in the waves

Ooh boy
Ooh boy
A lonely place to come from here
That's all we had to disappear
