Disappear from Silhouettes by Yama Uba

Constant erasure
Keeps me guessing
No lines to trace
Figures to face
It’s just disappointment
I’m just disillusioned
I dissipate
I disappear
In a cloud of vapor
Just like they wanted
Memories blur
Become forgotten

Letters in a diary
With all these tattered pages
And faded fingerprints that beg
Come back to this
Come back to this
Come back to me
But you never did
Come back to me
But you never did
Come back to me

It’s just disappointment
I’m just disillusioned
I dissipate
I disappear
In a cloud of anger
Just like they wanted
Memories blur
Leave only their word

They say “oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I didn’t know you were there”
“Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I didn’t see you there”
“Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I didn’t see you I swear”
“Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
You were never there”

It’s just disappointment
I’m just disillusioned
I dissipate
I disappear
In a cloud of anger
Just like they wanted
And the memories blur
Leave only their word

Will you lay still and cold
As the pen and ink buries you?
Or will your ragged hands break through
That earth, undead, till they see you?
Will your spirit languish here
And murmur no more words?
Or will you rattle cages
And make witnesses to your ghost?

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I didn’t know you were there
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Don’t disappear
