Missing Persons - Renaissance

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
