Its tragic--keeps on happening all the time
Its the kind of thing that I fear
I feel Im making no headway
Walls I know are starting to disappear

Its like theyd never existed, strange but true
As sure as Im talking to you
Now you see it, now I dont want to frighten you
But Im 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
Its one of the things I lack
From the east and to the west
I feel its time that I was heading back

I cant control these feelings that I have
Ive never been one to hide
Become a pillar of society
But dont let your morals slide

Chorus ii:

Or you can find that youve 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, Ill be safe, well be happy
After finding myself well be fine
Any problems we have will be gone in a moment
Ill become just a state of the mind

I want you close
I need you near
You have to be here
I turned around
Youve gone again

Chorus i
