Disappear

(Verse 1)
A little boy
Watching other kids at play
Living life so lightly,
The way childhood should feel every day
Thinking:
“What’s it like to live that way?”
“Shouldn’t childhood be so much brighter?”
And yeah, it was—
But never for him

(Verse 2)
Dark thoughts crawling through his mind
Killing every bit of light
Crying in the corners
Silently screaming for help inside
Asking himself
“Will I be stuck on this road forever?”

(Pre-Chorus)
Throwing curtains over feelings
Faking smiles to keep believing
On the outside, just a happy child
But inside, an adult growing wild

(Chorus)
Mama! Daddy!
This broken child is me!
I just wanna fade away
Let the darkness slip away
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Take me where I feel alive
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Let me breathe tonight

(Verse 3)
Drowning in the pity and fake concern
Critics wearing sympathy they never earned
Who could understand the fight?
Every door he tried to open
Turned into an endless night
He thought he’d find a way through
But fear always broke the view

(Pre-Chorus)
Throwing curtains over feelings
Faking smiles to keep believing
On the outside, just a happy child
But inside, an adult growing wild
Screaming, begging,
“I wish I could be someone else!”

(Chorus)
Mama! Daddy!
This broken child is me!
I just wanna fade away
Let the darkness slip away
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Take me where I feel alive
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Let me breathe tonight

(Bridge)
This childhood built me, but it broke me too
Every scar still bleeding through
I wish I could erase the pain
But it keeps on screaming my name
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Take me where I feel alive
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Just let me breathe tonight

(Chorus)
Mama! Daddy!
This broken child is me!
I just wanna fade away
Let the darkness slip away
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Take me where I feel alive
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Let me breathe tonight
Fade away from all this pain
Disappear! (Disappear!)
Set me free again
