Long Gone-Invisible
LONG GONE
The light fades
And shadows cast
I'm in the dark
Don't you get it
I just want my peace
As the lights fade
The shadows cast
I'll be dancing in the dark
I hope you get it
I just want to be alone
INVISIBLE
Isolated
I heard what you said
Don't mind it
Just don't open that door
'Cause when it's done
I'll be long gone
With clues on my window
That was my escape
I crawled down the walls like Dracula
Just like Dracula would do
I ran so fast
I was invisible
Even the wolves didn't sense
I am so far gone
You couldn't even tell
LONG GONE
I'm happy now
To feel pain is to feel alive
And yet to feel pain is to die
There's silence everywhere
The lights cast
And shadows fade
The dark is no more
And I am done
You get it, don't you?
I have grieved
As the lights cast
The shadows fade
Hope has engaged
Desperado
And we'll be long gone
After midnight
