Once I longed to disappear
It was a solution to make everything clear
No one seemed to care
Truth was not an option in the game called life
Only few could understand my strife
Those few never admit it
From their high thrones they sit

Once I longed to be forgotten
To escape a life so rotten
It would have been so easy
If only everyone failed to see
My name would mean nothing
Let go of everything I was grasping
Wipe the slate clean it would mean
To be unknown it would seem

Once I longed to disappear and be forgotten
Close my eyes
Take a breath
Cut the ropes
With all the hopes
But then I took a peek
Not knowing what to seek
I saw what I could not see

Life was magnificent
With all its cracks and dents
All its wonder and beauty
We all have a duty
Mine I failed to do
Now I long to live
Long live me
Long live you
