C'mon, Let's Disappear

A man was being followed

He grinned from ear to ear

From one step to another

He appeared to disappear

We never saw his photograph

We never knew his name

We only heard his story

And we thought let's do the same

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

We'll gladly take you with us

Just as long as we are here

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

Why wait when every minute

More and more of us are here

The tethers are invisible

They keep you feeling tense

Let's test the legal limits

Of your voluntary fence

There's nothing new in heaven

There's nothing new on earth

Except new ways of cashing in

On what a life is worth

They fill you where you should be hollow

They've packaged feeling sad

They have an app for appetites

You never knew you had

They think your heart has hardened

They know you're often bored

You tend a paywalled garden

For imaginary lords

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

And when you find us finally

You'll never know we're here

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

Instead of feeling happy

Why not feel a little weird

You wanted to be noticed

You wanted to be seen

And now you hold the fascination

Of a vast machine

We see you turn transparent

We see you turning clear

We see you as you really are

Just as you disappear

A man was being followed

Or maybe not a man

They call you what they want to

When you opt out of the plan

You'll hear what you've been missing

You'll feel much less alone

You'll find a soul-shaped object

Where you used to have a phone

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

We're playing in the shadows

Where a new light has appeared

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

C'mon, let's disappear

Let's disappear

Disappear

Disappear

Disappear
