Disappear
Victor Wainwright & The Train Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I upset
Did I think I could forget
Everything that I've missed has turned to tears
The memories that I kept are fading
Nothing's helping
Deep in my mind, is it getting better
Gotta sleep, gotta find the answer
Will I ever remember
Every day's the same, it's getting old
Stuck in forever
Sure I'll be okay if you say so
The voice inside my head keeps telling me
The sorrow that I feel will slowly disappear
Is that a dream or not
I don't know anymore
About this life
So what
I keep on looking after myself
It's safe to say it's not enough
Nothing feels like the way it was
It's complicated, I'm so conflicted
Deep in my mind, is it getting better
Gotta sleep, gotta find the answer
Will I ever remember
Every day's the same, it's getting old
Stuck in forever
Sure I'll be okay if you say so
The voice inside my head keeps telling me
The sorrow that I feel will slowly disappear
Gotta sleep, gotta try to find the answer
Writing these lines so I will remember
Things are complicated
I'm just overthinking
Gotta sleep, gotta try to find the answer
Writing these lines so I will remember
Every day's the same, it's getting old
Stuck in forever
Sure I'll be okay if you say so
The voice inside my head keeps telling me
The sorrow that I feel will slowly disappear
Every day's the same, it's getting old
Sure I'll be okay if you say so




The voice inside my head keeps telling me
The sorrow that I feel will slowly disappear
