I Disappear (Revised)

[Intro] I’ve always been a hoarder… of broken lives… Thinking I could fix what never survives… [Verse 1] I take in the strays, the lonely, the weak The ones with no voice, no will left to speak No love, no food, no hope in their eyes I give them my time… I give them my life No judgment, just listening, trying to care But every emotion… I carry, I wear So tell me, who am I to try to save When I’m still crawling out of my own grave? [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been lost… I’ve been alone… Still I fight this on my own… [Chorus] I disappear… into the quiet again Carrying pieces of all of my friends I try to hold… what’s slipping through But I’m breaking too I don’t belong… but I can’t walk away Something inside me just won’t let me stay I give it all… until there’s nothing left Then I disappear… again… [Verse 2] I hate that I need to help when I can Even when I barely stand as I am They cling to the chaos, refuse to grow And I feel the anger begin to show They pull at the edges, they take every breath Repeating the cycle that feels like death And I start to wonder quietly… Why their pain feels like it belongs to me [Pre-Chorus] Why can’t you… find your way? Why do I feel I have to stay? [Chorus] I disappear… into the quiet again Carrying pieces of all of my friends I try to hold… what’s slipping through But I’m breaking too I don’t belong… but I can’t walk away Something inside me just won’t let me stay I give it all… until there’s nothing left Then I disappear… again… [Bridge] So I fade… into the dark Where I try to mend my heart Claw my way… back to the light Just to try… one more time… [Final Chorus] I disappear… but I come back again Haunted by pieces of all of my friends I try to change… but it never ends I’m caught in it I don’t belong… but I still remain Tied to the love and the quiet pain I give it all… even when I’m left With nothing but echoes… again… [Outro] Who am I…? …I am you… Then I disappear…
