It's tragic--keeps on happening all the time It's the kind of thing that i fear I feel i'm making no headway Walls i know are starting to disappear It's like they'd never existed, strange but true As sure as i'm talking to you Now you see it, now i don't want to frighten you But i'm simply here standing alone Chorus i: Trapped in these shadows that belong to missing persons Names faded from memory join the list and then mark time Once i would have been glad to have made your acquaintance Now i feel a danger brought about by circumstance Obsessed, the quality of life escapes me now It's one of the things i lack From the east and to the west I feel it's time that i was heading back I can't control these feelings that i have I've never been one to hide Become a pillar of society But don't let your morals slide Chorus ii: Or you can find that you've become a missing person A here today gone tomorrow breeze and lost in the night Once i would have been glad to have made your acquaintance Now i feel a danger brought about by circumstance But i know in the end, i'll be safe, we'll be happy After finding myself we'll be fine Any problems we have will be gone in a moment I'll become just a state of the mind I want you close I need you near You have to be here I turned around You've gone again Chorus i Chorus ii
