(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 Fade away from all this pain Disappear! (Disappear!) Set me free again
