I Disappear (Original)

[Intro] I DISAPPEAR [Verse 1] I have always been a hoarder of broken lives thinking I could solve the problems of the unsolvable. I am the cheerleader for people who can't be lead the keeper of the keep that can't be kept. [Verse 2] I take in the strays, the lonely and the needy the ones that have no love, no food, no hope and I try to comfort, feed, listen and except with no judgement, just understanding. but who am I to take on such a task? [Pre-Chorus] I too have felt lost, hopeless, alone yet ask for no help because I know that only I, myself can pull Me out of the abyss. [Chorus] I do not like people. Yet I cannot, not help someone. It is the right thing to do. Kindness and humanity is the right thing to do. I hate it. [Verse 3] I help, I listen, I try then I get angry because they claw at me, they are needy and they do not help themselves. They choose to remain in their personal dramas. [Pre-Chorus 2] So, I have been told that I squirrel away, disappear for months, years, decades only to reappear to the same sadness, nothing changed, all the same players, and I start all over again, I ask myself why? [Chorus] Because it gnaws at me that these people, my friends are still there in the same spot. I do not like people but I love my friends, I have only a few. [Bridge] So, I squirrel away and I disappear because I am the cheerleader and when I cannot help you help yourself I take it as a personal failure to you and to myself. [Break / Emotional peak] I have failed so many people in my life that when I can no longer help you I go back into my abyss, a failure, and it takes some clawing of my own to return. [Final Chorus] So when I emerge I pick up as if it were only yesterday and we begin again... Who am I? I am you. [Outro] Then I disappear again…
