I Want To Vanish Songtext / Lyric

I want to vanish

This is my fondest wish

To go where I cannot be captured

Laid on a decorated dish



Even in splendor this curious fate

Is more than I care to surrender, now it's too late



Whether in wonder or indecent haste

You arrange the mirrors and the spools

To snare the rare and precious jewels

That were only made of paste






If you should stumble upon my last remark

I'm crying in the wilderness

I'm trying my best to make it dark

How can I tell you I'm rarer than most?

I'm certain as a lost dog, pondering a signpost



Whether in wonder or indecent haste

You arrange the mirrors and the spools

To snare the rare and precious jewels

That were only made of paste



I want to vanish

This is my last request

I've given you the awful truth

Now give me my rest
